Your guide to the Northern Interior Health Unit relocation

We will update this page as new information becomes available.

The Northern Interior Health Unit (NIHU) will relocate in late summer 2026 to support construction of the new acute care tower at the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC).

Where services are moving

Services currently delivered at the NIHU and the John G. McKenzie Family Practice Centre will relocate to the new Prince George Community Health Centre at: 1600 15th Ave, Prince George, BC.

Bringing these services together under one roof will improve coordination, support stronger team-based care, and make it easier for people to access services in one location.
