History

The Cambie Surgery Centre CSC was opened in 1996 by a group of nationally and internationally renowned doctors and independent investors With the vision of Dr Brian Day it was the first medical facility of its kind in Canada The founders wanted to build a facility where highly skilled doctors could perform surgery on their patients in an environment that offered them access to the latest technology in a setting that emphasized exceptional patient care The CSC has recently been described by the media as quotCanadas finest medical facilityquot Patients from around the world including many famous celebrities and athletes have travelled to Vancouver to receive care at the CSC

The Workers Compensation Board WCB was one of the first supporters of the CSC Injured workers could be treated within weeks rather than waiting a year or more in the public system The WCB saved millions of dollars annually in reduced costs and workers suffered greatly reduced disability Other federal and provincial agencies have joined the WCB in supporting the centre

In July 2003 the CSC completed a 9000 square foot expansion to expand its original 3 operating rooms to 6 operating rooms two of which are digital 14 recovery beds and 7 in patient rooms CSC has more operating theatre capacity than most British Columbia hospitals

The CSC is presently the most technologically advanced surgical centre in Canada and is committed to stay at the leading edge of new advances in medical technology Through the use of its multimedia broadcast system the CSC plans to host world conferences so that surgeons from all around the world can communicate and learn
