Chilliwack – With Chilliwack’s population rapidly growing and local family physicians facing unprecedented pressure, access to maternity care has reached a critical point. To address this urgent need, the Chilliwack Hospital Foundation and the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation are partnering on a community-driven fundraising campaign to support the development of a dedicated Maternity Clinic, slated to open in February 2026.
Across B.C., family doctors are increasingly difficult to come by due to retirements, population growth, and challenges in recruiting physicians. In Chilliwack, this shortage has placed a significant strain on maternity services. Traditionally, family doctors provide maternity care while also managing their full patient panels-yet growing demand and limited clinic infrastructure have made it increasingly challenging to offer the level of access our community needs. In addition, this clinic will be a collaborative space where family doctors, midwives, and other allied health professionals work together under one roof to meet the needs of our growing community and provide seamless, continuous care for expectant families.
