We have launched a new event calendar on our website at https://www.interiorhealth.ca/event-calendar. Check out the calendar to view health-related events happening throughout the Interior region, from the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap to the East Kootenay, and everywhere in between.
Here are five reasons you'll want to bookmark IH's new event calendar.
In addition to the many health-care services we offer at our locations throughout the region, we also run clinics to deliver services in your community.
For example, we have hosted immunization clinics to help people get up to date on their vaccines and receive protection from infectious diseases.
IH’s calendar informs you when these clinics are being offered and lets you know which ones are drop-in or appointment-based so you can plan accordingly.
You can find a wide range of career opportunities at Interior Health. IH’s calendar shares information on upcoming career exploration events like recruitment fairs, where you can meet our recruiters at a physical booth or via a virtual meeting.
We also share events outside of the region we’re attending so people looking to relocate to our beautiful region can connect with us. Start your career with us and contribute to quality health care across British Columbia’s beautiful Southern Interior.
IH hosts free, drop-in parenting classes for those with infants 0-12 months called Baby Talk. These groups, open to mothers, fathers, partners, guardians and grandparents, provide an opportunity to receive information, share experiences, ask questions and build connections.
IH’s calendar keeps you up to date on sessions throughout the year in Armstrong, Cranbrook, Enderby, Nelson, Penticton, Trail and Vernon.
It’s important to be knowledgeable about your health and understand how to manage it. IH’s calendar displays health & wellness educational events, whether hosted by IH or a trusted community provider.
We want to empower you to lead a healthy lifestyle, support you if you need help with your mental health or substance use, and educate you on environmental health topics.
There are many caring individuals throughout our region who make a difference in health care or who want to get involved.
IH’s calendar promotes opportunities to explore becoming an IH volunteer, to help shape health care by participating in our community engagement initiatives, or to become a donor through events such as blood drives.
