First it was a new emergency department. Now it’s a new executive director. Eagle Ridge Hospital continues to see a shift in the workforce in hopes of providing more efficient healthcare to the Tri-Cities, and its foundation (ERHF) believes it can help accomplish just that with Judy Zhu at the helm. Zhu’s been tapped as the ERHF’s next executive director; she took over the position at the end of March. In a statement, Zhu said she’s passionate about empowering supporters having led fundraisers for many years with the Canadian Cancer Society. “I have enjoyed being a
JUDY ZHU
part of this extraordinary community and am honoured to be a part of Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation. I am looking forward to continuing to build on this incredible legacy.” Zhu is a longtime resident of the Tri-Cities. She said she understands the importance of advocacy for better access to health and emergency services. According to the foundation, one of Zhu’s first tasks
is to continue a $2-million campaign to upgrade Eagle Ridge Hospital’s medical imaging equipment. The certified fundraising executive’s (CFRE) résumé includes 14 years in the non-profit sector. Zhu recently helped raise $30 million to complete Vancouver’s new centre for cancer prevention and support in November 2021 as the Canadian Cancer Society’s leadership director. Zhu replaces Charlene Giovannetti-King, who retired in February after spending more than a decade as the ERHF’s executive director. During her tenure, the foundation tripled in size, and was responsible for the fundraising efforts to expand Eagle Ridge Hospital’s new emergency department — a two-part project that began in 2019 and was declared finished on July 5 by ERHF board chair Tom Morton.
