Northern Interior Health Unit: What's Happening?

Big changes are coming to the Northern Interior Health Unit (NIHU) as we prepare for the construction of the new acute care tower on the current NIHU site. This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing healthcare services for our community.

Relocating Services
To make way for the new tower, we will be relocating the services currently offered at the NIHU. The relocation is expected to take place in the spring of 2026, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to services.

Demolition and Construction
Following the relocation, the existing NIHU building will be demolished in the summer of 2026. This demolition is a crucial part of our plan to create space for the new, state-of-the-art tower that will enhance our healthcare capabilities and provide improved facilities for both patients and healthcare professionals.

We are committed to keeping the community informed and engaged throughout this process. Regular updates will be provided on our Let’s Talk site, where you can find the latest information and progress reports. We are excited about the future and the positive impact this project will have on healthcare in the North.

Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward and be sure to drop any questions you have in the comments!
