Your guide to the Northern Interior Health Unit relocation

The Northern Interior Health Unit (NIHU) will begin to relocate on August 28, 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.

Appointments that occur on or after August 31, 2026, will take place at the new location.
