US EditionCentral Okanagan MLAs to Hold Town Hall to Address Health Care Crisis
- Three Kelowna MLAs announced a town hall on July 2 at the Coast Capri Hotel to address the healthcare crisis from 5 to 7 p.m.
- The town hall follows a staff shortage that forced the KGH pediatric ward to close on May 26 and ongoing concerns about unsafe work environments.
- Since 2023, several pediatricians stepped away or reduced hours due to being overstretched without proper supports, forcing patient transfers for admission or surgery.
- MLA Gavin Dew calls for Interior Health CEO Susan Brown's immediate resignation and warned he would seek Minister Osborne's intervention if she does not step down.
- The crisis has worsened trust in leadership and strained healthcare delivery, suggesting urgent changes are needed to restore safe care and staffing levels.
