The BC NDP is taking action to strengthen healthcare services for residents of Langley

LANGLEY –  BC NDP candidates Andrew Mercier (Langley-Willowbrook), John Aldag (Langley-Abbotsford), and Megan Dykeman (Langley-Walnut Grove) today announced the BC NDP’s commitment to build a new patient care tower as part of upgrades to the Langley Memorial Hospital campus.

“Our community is growing, and a new patient tower and upgraded hospital facilities will mean better care for you and better working conditions for doctors, nurses and other health care workers,” said Mercier. “We look forward to working alongside our dedicated healthcare professionals here in Langley to see this project through.”

Phase one of the upgrades to the Langley Memorial Hospital will include the previously-announced new long-term care home that will double the number of long-term care beds at the hospital site. The second phase of the project includes building a new patient-care tower, which would include new state-of-the-art operating rooms. The new patient-care tower is expected to be located on the site of the current long-term care home. The plan also includes renovating the ambulatory day care space within the existing hospital.

“We have heard from healthcare workers in our community how important the replacement of this tower is for Langley Memorial hospital,” said Dykeman. “This next phase is so vital for our growing community.” 

Recent healthcare investments by the BC NDP in the Langley area include a new MRI suite at Langley Memorial Hospital, which opened in December 2020, and a new Urgent and Primary Care Centre, which opened in May 2024.

“Everyone deserves to be able to access high-quality healthcare when and where they need it,” said Aldag. “We need modernized hospital facilities to support the people in our growing community and the healthcare workers providing critical services to patients.”

“John Rustad has already said ‘we don’t have the capacity’ to build the healthcare and transit infrastructure that is currently planned,” said Mercier. “A Rustad government would mean cancelled hospital projects and people in our communities waiting longer for care. We simply cannot afford this.”
