Message from BH Senior Executives

Dr IshAmhed,MD BHSiteMedicalDirector

Ms. Leanne Appleton Executive Director BH & Health Services

Other changes include the upcoming opening of the Pediatric Rapid Access Clinic and the planning for a potential Respiratory/Pulmonary Rapid Access Clinic - both aiming to reduce Emergency Department visits.

Throughout all these initiatives, the collective goal is to try out new processes, learn from the results, and continuously improve together. We embrace openness to innovation, always striving to deliver the best patient care despite the challenges posed by significant staffing shortages across many specialties.

The continued collaboration between medical staff, operational leaders, and staff is pivotal in building a shared, unified vision for our hospital's future. This collaborative approach enables true transformation for Burnaby Hospital - a transformation driven by our teams and not solely by the opportunities presented by the redevelopment project.

We want to express our deep gratitude to all medical staff and the MSA Executive for their unwavering commitment to our patients, our hospital, and to each other during these challenging times. Together, we will continue to navigate the path towards a brighter future for Burnaby Hospital and the community we serve.
