Role and Facility Information

Fraser Health (FH) is the heart of health care for nearly two million people in 20 diverse communities from Burnaby to Fraser Canyon on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Nlaka’pamux Nations and is home to six Métis Chartered Communities.

Our hospital and community-based services are delivered by a team of 45,000+ staff, medical staff and volunteers dedicated to serving our patients, families and communities.

The Department of Anesthesiology is seeking passionate and dedicated Anesthesiologists to join a welcoming and supportive team at Peace Arch Hospital (PAH). Our team serves both daycare and surgical inpatients from across the south Fraser region. Surgical specialties at PAH include general surgery (including major bowel cases), obstetrics & gynecology, orthopedics (including joint replacements and revisions), urology (including radical prostates & nephrectomies), plastic surgery, ENT, oral & maxillo-facial surgery, and ophthalmology.

PAH recently completed construction on a brand-new surgical suite, including 5 state of the art operating theatres, a cataract/ophthalmology suite, PACU, and Surgical Daycare. We have also just completed a brand-new Physician’s engagement space onsite combined with new on-call rooms. We have an efficient Pre-Admission Clinic where we provide both in-person and virtual consultations. Our surgical patient population includes many seniors, and we take pride in efficiently assessing and optimizing those with multiple co-morbidities. Our Internal Medicine colleagues provide 24/7 availability for inpatient perioperative consultations, and we have an Intensive Care Unit that provides postoperative critical care when necessary.

The PAH Department of Anesthesiology currently includes nine FRCPC anesthesiologists.

There is one PAH anesthesiologist on-call from home 24/7/365. Each full-time department member averages one night on-call per week; either a 12-hour weeknight, or a 24-hour weekend day.

Our department members are also active leaders in the local Physician Quality Improvement (PQI) program, the Medical Staff Association, and various hospital decision-making processes.

The Community: White Rock

White Rock is known as B.C.’s City by the Sea. White Rock & South Surrey (WRSS) is a great family-friendly community to live in. WRSS has two beaches; good schools (both public and private); restaurants; shopping; and both indoor and outdoor sports facilities for adults and youth.

PAH is only 5-10 minutes from the Peace Arch Border crossing, allowing for quick post-pandemic cross-border trips to the USA. WRSS is also one of the sunniest and driest areas of B.C.’s Lower Mainland, a great environment for a wide variety of outdoor pursuits.

Fraser Health values diversity in the work force and strives to maintain an environment of Respect, Caring & Trust. Fraser Health’s hiring practices aspire to ensure all individuals are treated in an inclusive, equitable and culturally safe manner.
