The Delta Hospital Foundation will be opening its doors to the public for an open house in celebration of outgoing executive director Teresa Cooper.
The public open house is set for 3: 30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24 in the Court Yard Café, 5800 Mountain View Blvd. and will give the public the opportunity to say goodbye to Cooper. Refreshments will be provided.
Cooper's efforts over the past seven years allowed for amazing changes at Delta Hospital. She has prepared the foundation to move to the next level where there will be a greater expansion of the facilities.
During her tenure and through extensive collaboration with the board and staff, she has been instrumental in:
. Advocating and raising funds for a CT scanner;
. Final completion of the new emergency department;
. Expanded and enhanced surgical daycare unit with third operating room;
. Funding and opening of the state-of-the-art endoscopy suite; and
. Delta Hospital's return to acute care status.
The foundation's board of directors completed a fourmonth search in April by selecting Veronica Carroll, previously chief executive officer of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, as the organization's new executive director.
For more information on the open house contact the foundation office at 604940-9695 or e-mail info@ deltahospital.com.
The Delta Hospital Foundation raises funds to provide access to the best medical services close to home. Since 1988, it has raised over $23 million.
