This is an opportunity to work with three active OBGYNs and two midwives in a community with a young population where we average one delivery per day with a Level 1b Nursery. We have moderate to high risk clientele and are a mini referral centre for sites such as Bella Coola and 100 Mile House.

Our nurses enjoy working in a team environment with well-established working relationships and an engaged group of physicians who support our cohesive group dynamic. We are committed to mentoring and coaching each other and enjoy supporting new grads on to our unit. We have a laid back casual yet professional atmosphere where the doctors are our teammates without the hierarchy.
