Interior Health recognized as one of BC's Top Employers (2026)

February 9, 2026

We’re honoured to announce that Interior Health (IH) has been recognized as one of BC’s Top Employers (2026)—a distinction that celebrates organizations across the province that are shaping outstanding, people-centred workplaces.

This recognition reflects IH’s ongoing commitment to strong policies, meaningful career pathways, continuous learning, comprehensive benefits, a culture grounded in compassion, respect and support for our teams.

Creating a compassionate culture is a top priority at IH, one of B.C.’s five regional publicly funded health authorities.

When people feel respected and supported, they naturally bring the best of themselves to their work.

-- Sheena Brink, Registered Nurse

We extend our sincere thanks to staff across the IH region whose dedication and professionalism make this achievement possible. This recognition is a testament to our shared commitment to fostering a workplace where people feel valued, supported and inspired to build their careers while serving our communities.
