ABBOTSFORD – The agency that raises awareness and funds for local healthcare in the Fraser Valley says it has a new executive to enhance philanthropic strategies.

The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) has appointed Sarah De Klein as the new director of philanthropy and says her experience with fundraising should elevate efforts to secure financing for its mission.
