Surrey, B.C. – Six London Drugs locations are collecting donations for Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation during the month of November.

Every Surrey-based London Drugs store - as well as locations in North Delta, Langley, and South Surrey - are taking part in the fundraising drive.

Established in 1992, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $45 million to purchase medical equipment, fund innovative programs, and support training and research. The Foundation is currently involved in its largest fundraising initiative ever, a campaign to raise $15 million to triple the size of the hospital’s Emergency Department.

The B.C. government has committed to funding the essentials of a replacement to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s current E.R. The Foundation’s $15-million campaign will ensure the new Emergency Centre is state-of-the-art.

London Drugs is 100% Canadian owned and is focused on local customers' satisfaction. Across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia, London Drugs' 69 stores employ more than 6000 staff dedicated to providing customers with a superior shopping experience.
