People in Penticton soon will have more care options with the approval of a new long-term care (LTC) residence with 200 beds.

People will benefit from the major expansion at Penticton Regional Hospital as final renovations wrap up at the David E. Kampe Tower.

People living in Penticton and surrounding communities have better access to team-based everyday health care with a new urgent and primary care centre (UPCC) that is now open at 101 - 437 Martin Street.

Enhanced health-care services are on the way for people in the fast-growing area of the South Okanagan as the state-of-the-art David E. Kampe Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH) is set to open to patients April 29, 2019.

Government is transforming everyday health care for people living in the South Okanagan Similkameen region by moving forward with the creation of a primary-care network (PCN).

From Keremeos to Elkford, 10 communities in the Interior of B.C. are receiving age-friendly grants to support seniors so they can live active, socially engaged and independent lives.

The Province is providing $4.5 million to purchase the Super 8 motel, located at 1706 Main St., for supportive housing.

A $20,000 age-friendly grant has been provided to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen to support a community planning and accessibility project.
