In December 2023, the Harlow and Mary Ann Burrows Foundation committed to donating $250,000 to support Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s (DHCH Foundation) Coming Home campaign. In recognition of this generous donation, DHCH Foundation is pleased to confirm the art room located inside the new Beedie Long Term Care Centre will be named the Mary Ann Burrows Art Studio.

The Mary Ann Burrows Art Studio will be an inspiring, therapeutic art and wellness space where all residents of Delta’s new 200-bed long-term care home can engage in art and music therapy, gardening, woodworking, crafting, and other wellness activities designed to improve quality of life. The studio aims to foster creativity, support mental health, and provide a soothing environment for residents.

“We are incredibly grateful for Harlow and Mary Ann Burrows’ steadfast dedication to enhancing healthcare and wellness in our community,” said Lisa Hoglund, Executive Director of Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation. “This donation is an incredible way to honor Mary Ann’s passion for art and her belief in the power of creativity to improve mental well-being. We are proud to name this meaningful space in her honour and to highlight the impact of their generosity on our community.”

The Harlow and Mary Ann Burrows Foundation is dedicated to supporting the Delta community in the areas of education, healthcare, and social welfare initiatives and the new Mary Ann Burrows Art Studio will be a perfect fit for their mission. The Burrows’ commitment to fostering positive change and promoting social justice, mental health, creativity, and wellness makes their foundation a driving force in creating a brighter future for the community of Delta.

The Beedie Long Term Care Centre, owned and operated by Fraser Health Authority, will replace the aging Mountain View Manor at Delta Hospital. The new facility will provide residents with a home-like environment, featuring social and recreational spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms, activity areas, and access to outdoor spaces. In addition, the facility will include a 32-space adult day program and a 49-space daycare center for children, creating opportunities for intergenerational connections and programming.
