It continues to be my pleasure to work with passionate members of our community to create a meaningful difference in healthcare,” says Ms. Sleiman.

Claire Wang assumes the role of Vice President, Finance and Administration and has been with Burnaby Hospital Foundation for over 5 years, helping the organization grow through her expert financial and management skills.

One of my priorities is to work with our diverse community groups in raising financial support to transform the aging community hospital into a state‐of‐the‐art modern facility.”
