We Are IH: Trail x-ray technician helps care for patients

Greg feels incredibly fortunate to have worked at many Interior Health sites (Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke) and medical imaging centres (Kelowna Medical Imaging and Vernon Radiological Associates). At all his worksites, Greg has had fantastic coworkers and staff, made a lot of friends, and learned new skills. Most of all, his experiences have helped him grow in his professional and personal development.

Growing up in Powassan, Ont., Greg learned how to ride and drive horses. He would harvest trees from his family’s rural property and pull them out with horse teams; he also farmed hay (raking, discing, ploughing) with his uncle and their horse teams.

With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Greg’s favourite activities take place outdoors. This summer he hiked in Yoho National Park and biked in the Kootenays, and he’s looking forward to backcountry skiing the Rossland Range this winter. (His goal is to descend the Birthday Chutes!). Greg also recently started CrossFit, and sneaks in sessions before his shifts.

“I feel so lucky to be able to work and play in the same place," he said. "It was a goal of mine to end up in a mountain town, and I feel so privileged to be able to ride and run from my door, and walk to all my favourite spots in Rossland.”

Greg nominates Will Guerrero, Housekeeper to keep We Are IH going:

“Will is an awesome coworker! He is always ensuring the medical imaging department at KBRH is spotless, and stops in to say hi every shift. Without folks like Will, the hospital would not be a clean and organized place! Thanks Will!” – Greg Kilroy
