About this location / unit :

Interior Health has embarked on an expansion plan to meet increasing demands, expand health services, and enhance patient care in the Okanagan. Construction of the six-storey, Centennial Patient Care Tower was completed in May 2012. It includes an expanded emergency department and ambulatory care department, five new operating rooms, a rooftop helipad, an expanded adult inpatient psychiatric unit, and extra space for more patient beds in the future. Kelowna General Hospital is the site of the brand new clinical academic campus for the University of BC Medical School.

The Pediatric unit at KGH is a dedicated pediatric unit providing inpatient care as well as day care surgery and outpatient support for children up to and including 16 years of age. The inpatient area is supported by 10 beds, but has the physical capacity to increase to 21 bed spaces if / when required. We have a separate daycare / outpatient space that supports care on a daily basis.

Interior Health is an organization where you have room to grow and where life outside of work is just as important to us as it is to you.
