PRINCE GEORGE – “Northern B.C. has unique healthcare needs, and our commitment is to make UHNBC a state-of-the-art facility,” said BC United Leader Kevin Falcon. “This includes immediately beginning construction on a new patient care tower, complete with a cutting-edge cardiac care unit and a helipad to enhance emergency responses.”

Under Kevin Falcon, a BC United government will:

• Build the Tower Now: Immediately build a new patient care tower at UHNBC with a state-of-the-art cardiac care unit and helipad.
• Develop a Healthcare Strategy for the North: Deliver a comprehensive healthcare resource strategy that addresses existing gaps, creates new program offerings, removes barriers to training and education, and delivers new training spaces and partnerships, such as additional speech-language pathology program seats and other important allied health training programs to meet the demands of healthcare in the North now and into the future.
