"I live, work, play and volunteer in this community. I believe that building relationships in the community where you live is an important component in creating a life with meaning, purpose and a sense of belonging. Maple Ridge is my community and I’m proud to be a part of the local health care team, and glad for opportunities, such as the Hospital Foundation, through which I can be an active participant in the place I call home."

"I have been an employee of RMH for 34 years Since the inception of our Foundation I have seen, first hand, the difference it has made in the opportunities for us as staff to deliver better health care. We all know that the Foundation has been vital to the funding of our new Emergency room and it's state of the art equipment. What I am proud of is the high energy, fun projects that are organized to engage our community to support it's local hospital. As a result I see the positive influence it has on my fellow staff and also the residents of Maple Ridge. My thanks to the staff of the foundation for their dedication and to my fellow board members for the chance to be part of such a positive, inspiring group."
