Construction is underway on the Royal Inland Hospital Patient Care Tower, a nine-storey hospital tower that will open July 18, 2022. Features include private patient rooms, each with their own washroom, a brand new hospital entrance, an atrium for family gathering and a new patient registration area.
Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) Redevelopment is a two-phase redevelopment of the Williams Lake hospital, which serves a large rural region in the Cariboo Chilcotin. Designed with input from local Indigenous communities, employees and physicians, a new three-storey addition will be built at CMH that will be welcoming to people of all cultures and backgrounds. Once the new addition is open, renovations will take place in the existing hospital.
Multiple projects are contributing to the ongoing redevelopment of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail. A two storey addition is home to a new emergency department and day surgery unit, both located in the newly build addition to the hospital. A link connects the addition to the existing hospital where renovations are underway in several areas of the hospital.
The six-storey David E. Kampe Tower at Penticton Regional Hospital opened to patients in April of 2019, modernizing the hospital campus. Phase 2 of the project is underway with renovations to the emergency department, pharmacy and material stores underway.
Two separate projects at Queen Victoria Hospital saw a significant upgrade of the hospital’s emergency power system as well as an elevator modernization project.
Interior Health is home to Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) in Castlegar, Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Cranbrook. UPCCs deliver team-based care from physicians, nurse practitioners, physiotherapists and a wide array of health-care professionals.

The Numa Kakin' drum group from the Ktunaxa Nation helped to open the new Cranbrook Urgent and Primary Care Centre in December 2021. The centre is open for patients needing urgent care, who don't need to attend the emergency department.
There are six pharmacies undergoing significant renovations in the Interior Health region, increasing the space for employees to work in and enhancing patient privacy with consultation rooms.
Capital Planning & Projects engages with community stakeholders, employees, physicians and Indigenous groups to build facilities that are welcoming to people of all cultures and backgrounds. Inter-faith spaces provide a peaceful place at times of crisis and rainbow crosswalks are a symbol of inclusivity.
