Welcome to the 26th annual gala, supporting Langley Memorial Hospital. Tonight, we go back in time and revel in the glitz and glamour of vintage Las Vegas. This spectacular evening would not be possible without the commitment of our presenting sponsor, CIBC Wood Gundy | The Laurin Financial Group, and all generous evening sponsors who are helping ensure donations made here tonight are being put straight to work, supporting the purchase of life-saving and life-changing medical equipment.
I’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible 2018 gala co-chairs, Sherry Omelaniec and Marilyn Morgan. Thank you for turning this night into a magical event.
Langley’s generous residents and businesses have once again stepped up to provide incredible prizes and auction items – so don’t miss out! Take some time to visit our silent auction tables, review our live auction packages and participate in the Everything Wine Wine Pull.
We know that when you walk through our hospital doors you are not just a patient, but a community member. That’s what makes community health care so unique and why we know that your generosity tonight is going to have significant impact on the people who rely on the exceptional care Langley Memorial Hospital provides, whenever they need it.
Thank you for sharing in our vision to ensure our hospital and health care services have the resources to meet Langley’s health needs.
Vivian Smith, Executive Director, Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation
From diagnosis to treatment to recovery and home support, Langley Memorial Hospital is here when you need us the most.
Last year alone, our physicians, nurses and support staff helped usher 1,500 new babies into the world; conducted 1.1 million lab tests to support discovery and treatment; performed 10,500 surgeries; and supported over 47,000 patient visits to our emergency department.
Having the right people and the right skills is essential but without the right tools, we can’t keep up with modern medical practices. That’s where you come in.
By funding cutting-edge medical equipment and clinical education programs, you are joining our network of care and helping to advance health care treatments, provide much needed patient comforts and put each community member back on the road to health. On behalf of our patients and their families, caregivers and support staff, thank you for supporting health care in Langley. Our hospital— and by extension, our community—is the better for it.
Jason Cook, Executive Director, Langley Health Services & Langley Memorial Hospital
A MESSAGE
FROM
LANGLEY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
ROOSTER’S STORY
Imagine kissing your six-year-old son goodnight in a hospital bed and having to reassure him that Santa would know where to visit him tonight.That’s the reality Lori faced this past Christmas Eve on her son’s third hospital stay in just two short months.
Tonight we debut “Rooster’s Story” and celebrate Rooster, as Zakariah has been known to family and friends since he was a baby, and the exceptional care the whole Vanderwerf family received at Langley Memorial.
A few words from his parents, Lori and Ben:
We hope you enjoy Rooster’s Story and take pride in the care you are providing by supporting the Denim & Diamonds gala, presented by CIBC Wood Gundy | The Laurin Financial Group.
Watch this story again. lmhfoundation.com/rooster
“Our family would like to thank you all for the care Zakariah received during his long hospital stays. Thank you so much for the care, and for reassuring us parents.

To the nurses - you guys rock at your jobs and we are so appreciative of all the outstanding care Zak received.”
