Renovation and multi-phase upgrades have been completed at Arrow Lakes Hospital (ALH) in Nakusp, Canada, including an updated emergency department.
Operated by Interior Health, Arrow Lakes Hospital delivers multiple healthcare services, including surgical, inpatient and emergency.
The renovation of the hospital was concluded in two phases, with the first phase involving a new trauma bay, which was opened in September last year.
Meanwhile, the second phase, which is now complete, covers new exam bays, a triage area, a multi-purpose room for families, a visiting specialist room and additional space for physicians.
Interior health board chair Doug Cochrane said: “Patients in Nakusp and the surrounding region will be well served with these enhanced emergency spaces.
“There is more privacy for patients and their families and enhanced working conditions for our excellent staff and physicians.”
