A review of the Northern Health services located in the downtown area of Prince George has recently been completed. The report provides recommendations that will improve the care that people will receive through those services.

The Northern Health Connections program will run on a modified schedule starting December 19th, leading up to a holiday season break.

NH Connections provides transportation for clients travelling to non-emergent health services outside their home communities. A variety of routes connect communities across northern B.C., along with service to Vancouver. Demand for the service typically drops over the holiday season as fewer people book health care appointments.

Northern Health leaders and staff in Terrace joined with the Northwest Regional Hospital District today to mark a milestone in diagnostic imaging services at Mills Memorial Hospital. The new MRI unit at Mills Memorial has now performed its first 500 exams.

“This milestone means that hundreds of residents of Northwest B.C. have been able to receive important diagnostic imaging services closer to home,” said Northern Health Board of Directors chairperson, Colleen Nyce. “This is a key aim of our overall strategy to help improve access to medical imaging technology in northern B.C.”
