PRINCE GEORGE — Northern Health has acquired the lease and equipment at the Prince George Surgery Centre and assumed operation of the centre today (April 17).

This was done in connection with the provincial government. Health Minister Adrian Dix says this will allow the University Hospital of Northern BC to prioritize capacity for more complex surgeries.

“That means people living in the North will continue to receive the surgeries they need, when they need them.”

Northern Health has worked with the Prince George Surgery Centre on the transition process to obtain the lease and buy the facility equipment. The process included developing a transition plan for staff that may be affected, while retaining as many staff as possible.
