Let’s Talk Tower: Nearly 400 Staff Joined Us to Learn, Share, and Connect
Over two engaging sessions at the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC), nearly 400 staff members dropped in to grab a coffee, enjoy a pastry, and connect with the project team behind the new acute care tower.
Our casual drop-in format created a welcoming space for staff to ask questions and learn more about how this major investment will shape the future of health care in Northern BC. Whether folks had five minutes or stayed for longer conversations, the curiosity in the room was inspiring.
What We Heard
Staff brought thoughtful questions and insights about:
- How the tower’s design will support patient care and staff workflows
- What the construction timeline looks like
- How departments will be impacted and involved moving forward
The project team appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those who will be most impacted by the new space. Your voices are helping shape a facility that reflects the needs and values of our teams and communities.
What’s Next
These sessions are just the beginning. We’re committed to ongoing engagement that’s transparent, collaborative, and culturally safe. Stay tuned for more opportunities to connect, contribute, and stay informed.
