Kamloops and area residents are one step closer to the new Patient Care Tower at Royal Inland Hospital with the selection of the preferred proponent for the project.

First responders and military personnel struggling with mental-health challenges soon will have access to more supports, thanks to $1 million in provincial funding to expand Honour Ranch. 

Health Minister Terry Lake announced $90 million in new funding over three years to bring integrated team-based primary care services to more communities throughout British Columbia.

The provincial government is providing $3 million to the Brain Injury Alliance to support community brain injury associations throughout B.C.

The Province has provided $123,000 for improved access to hospice palliative care in Kamloops.

As an interim measure while primary care capacity is being added in the community in the coming months, Kamloops residents without a family doctor can now call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 to be placed on a waitlist for a primary care provider.
