Statement from Interior Health, attributable to Lori Motluk, Executive Director, for North and South Okanagan (Hospital & Communities Integrated Services)

“Interior Health met with members of the South Okanagan General Hospital Medical Staff Association on Monday to discuss concerns raised by the physician group. This was a positive and productive first meeting, and it’s clear Interior Health and the physicians share the same goal – to provide quality care for patients, and in a way that is sustainable for the long-term. Interior Health and the physician group have committed to meet again in the coming weeks and months to work towards solutions that will address the concerns and interests of both parties. We appreciate there is community interest in these discussions, however, in recognition of our need to focus on long-term solutions, we’re not in a position to share additional details of the topics of discussion at this time.”
