A Vision for Local Surgical Excellence
This year we are proud to focus our efforts on a vital project: the upgrade and replacement of the two surgical towers at Bulkley Valley District Hospital (BVDH). This initiative is central to enhancing the capabilities of BVDH’s dynamic surgical department, which relies on a diverse team of visiting specialists to deliver high-quality care across a wide range of disciplines—including gynecology, orthopedics, general surgery, ENT, plastic surgery, dental surgery, internal medicine, neurology, and local GP surgeons.
Over the past decade, the surgical program has seen remarkable growth—a 75% increase in surgical slates and the addition of three more operating days per week. With new services such as ENT, gynecology, and orthopedics, more patients are receiving care right here at home, dramatically reducing travel and wait times. For example, shoulder surgery wait times in our community are now just 2–3 months, compared to up to two years in other regions.
With your support, we aim to take the next step that will enhance surgical visualization, increase capacity for more procedures and operating days, and most importantly, allow us to continue keeping Bulkley Valley residents close to home while receiving the best possible care.
