Looking back on all we accomplished together this year

"This year, communities across the Interior region faced many difficult challenges. And still, the spirit of compassion and partnership that is shared across our region pulled us through.

I am incredibly proud of everyone at Interior Health and for the work we do together with partners. You have made a difference in the lives of patients and families for years to come.

May you enjoy a wonderful holiday season, and may the new year bring health and well-being to you and your loved ones."

Whether it's stretching, reading, or just relaxing, wobble rooms like this one at Kelowna General Hospital are becoming a refuge for health-care workers in Interior Health.

As the COVID-19 pandemic and toxic drug crisis continue to challenge health-care workers in their day-to-day work, the question continues to arise about how people can protect their psychological safety while dealing with the demands they face in the workplace.

In Pause for Wellness, people in the Interior Health community share their personal stories, journeys, and insights about health and well-being.


With the help of some amazing mental health professionals and a lot of reading, I’ve been learning about who I am and understanding my "authentic self".

Lately, I’ve been thinking more about why I don't always live and behave like that person. And I've started to understand that permission has been getting in my way.
