"I joined the RMHF Board because I believe citizens should have a way to contribute to making Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows healthy communities. Citizen contributions can and do make such a significant difference in the lives of all our residents. Of course the personal stories of people overcoming health challenges with assistance from the Hospital are the most compelling but prevention is equally important and is another aspect of health care being addressed by the Foundation."

| "I was raised here in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and am now raising my own family here in this community. Ridge Meadows Hospital has always been a part of my life, as my Mother worked as a RN for many years. RMH cared for my grandmother for an extended time in Creekside Manor and the hospital has cared for all members of my family in some way.
"It is a privilege for me to be a member of the Foundation that has made a huge difference in health care in Ridge Meadows. I strive to be a facilitator for the community to donate to a very important cause. Our talented staff of health professionals need the support to provide the excellent care that they do. When a citizen chooses to give, we need them to know that the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation is here for them and their money will make a very positive difference."

“Since our hospital opened in 1957 it has been an important part of my life. The health providers at the hospital and those in our community are so very important to everyone’s well-being – they make our community a better place to live. That’s why I am a member of the board. The Foundation plays an important role in raising extra funds to equip our community health providers.” Art Van Pelt |
