She describes the mood as “a good vibe” and much better than it has been after years of friction – especially regarding the ongoing central hospital site debate.
The WKB Hospital Board has had some initial discussion around a report – commissioned by Castlegar – to seek a united strategic plan for the whole region.
That’s so Interior Health can direct long-term funding where it’s needed most.
