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.
