We’re honoured to share that Interior Health (IH) has been named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, an annual competition that recognizes companies and organizations that lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces for their employees.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) play a pivotal role as health-care providers to improve timely access to care in the short term and on an ongoing basis. They see people at their most vulnerable and provide continuous care, support, and compassion no matter how hard it may get, often working tirelessly for long hours to help those in need. 

Let’s meet some of the incredible NPs who are providing patient-focused, compassionate care that improves the health and well-being of patients in the communities they serve.
