    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Health 2007HEALTH0079-000856 June 27, 2007 THREE TEAMS SHORT-LISTED FOR KGH/VJH HOSPITAL EXPANSION KELOWNA – Three qualified proponent teams have been short-listed to participate in the Request for Proposal (RFP) phase of the competition to design, build, finance and maintain the expansion of Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) and Vernon Jubilee Hospital (VJH). “Hospitals and health-care facilities across British Columbia are being modernized and upgraded so that patients benefit from the best care possible, today and in the future,” said Health Minister George Abbott. “As we are seeing with the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, the public-private partnership provides taxpayers with the best financial certainty in a very competitive construction market and assurance that the project will be completed on time and on budget.” Three proponent teams responded to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) that closed on June 4. Following evaluation of the responses received, all three teams were short-listed. They are: • Infusion Health; • Okanagan Health Solutions; • Plenary Health. The teams each have a variety of members who represent local (B.C.-based), national and international companies. The short-listed respondents will be invited to respond to the RFP. The RFP stage will result in the selection of a preferred proponent to undertake hospital expansions in Kelowna and Vernon. The Kelowna and Vernon Hospitals expansion consists of three components: • Vernon Jubilee Hospital Diagnostic and Treatment Building; • Kelowna General Outpatient Hospital; and • Kelowna General Hospital Emergency Department expansion The VJH component will consolidate existing programs and allow future expansion.

  • 2012 Carbon Neutral Action Report Interior Health Authority
    2012 Carbon Neutral Action Report Interior Health Authority Interior Health Authority – Carbon Neutral Action Report 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On behalf of Interior Health, I am pleased to present the fifth annual Carbon Neutral Action Report. This report outlines the environmental actions that we have achieved or initiated throughout the 2012 calendar year – all while looking forward to the future. Our mission at Interior Health is to promote healthy lifestyles and provide health services to the highest quality standards. As a health authority, we understand that these objectives are closely connected to the health of our environment. Environmental risk factors and exposures have direct links to many compromised human health conditions. In order to effectively promote the health and wellness of our population, we must continue to reduce our carbon footprint and take concerted efforts towards environmental sustainability. A great example of how we are meeting high environmental standards is through the expansion and upgrades of our infrastructure. Not only do these improvements help accommodate growth in our population, but they also create healthier and more sustainable buildings for our staff, patients and the environment. In 2012, we saw the Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) site grow with the addition of the Centennial Building and the Dr. Walter Anderson Building – both of which were designed to the LEED® Gold rating system. The site was also transformed when the Pandosy Building was strategically deconstructed to make way for an upcoming energy efficient expansion. In addition, further energy savings were obtained through the upgrading of various facilities throughout the region. In fact, Interior Health was presented with two awards for our conservation efforts in the Kootenays, and in the South Okanagan – an outstanding achievement.

  • Medicine and Quality Matters
    Medicine & Quality Matters News for the Interior Health Medical Community June 2021 VP Message from Dr. Mike Ertel, Vice President, Medicine & Quality The summer has begun and gradually the province is opening up to the new normal as the vaccination rates rise. I was able to work a few shifts in Kelowna, and you could see the anxiety lift from people’s faces as they received their first immunization. I encourage medical staff to be involved in your local immunization clinic, if you are able, since it is such an emotionally rewarding experience for all those involved. On another positive note, I would like to thank the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for leading RIH in becoming the first all-digital hospital in the Interior on June 7. Under the leadership of Dr. Todd Ring, Dr. Kiley Cindrich and Dr. Trent Smith, all medical staff contributed to the successful roll out of the Advancing Care Electronically (ACE) program; by attending training, being proactive in supporting each other, and focusing on the ultimate benefit which is increasing quality of care to patients by improved medical documentation. Read more about this transition on p. 13. The work of medical staff over the last 15 months to keep our patients and teams safe has been exemplary.
