About Gillis House

Gillis House is a long-term care home with 75 publicly funded beds that is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Nlaka'pamux Nation in Merritt.

Interior Health’s vision, mission and values are foundational to our shared purpose and future - and our culture. This is what fundamentally guides our beliefs and behaviours, both as an organization and within our teams. It’s something we all collectively own; it defines who we are and who we want to be, and ultimately what change we want to see in the world.
