UPDATE: More services returned to Nelson Community Health Services Centre

Interior Health services that were impacted by the December 2025 facility water damage have returned to the Nelson Community Health Services Centre.

Services that were relocated back to the centre on Friday, June 26, include:

Mental Health & Substance Use (MHSU) services, including substance use counselling and after-care, counselling and treatment, psychiatry, and outreach services, will continue at Nelson Downtown MHSU, 514 Vernon Street, for now. Counselling and treatment services are also available for now at Nelson Fairview Gardens next to the centre.

MHSU services for seniors, along with several other services, were returned to the centre in March.
