Appalled by hospital conditions

We desperately need an update and a new hospital in Penticton

I was recently a patient at Penticton Regional Hospital. My care by the staff was excellent. However, as a retired RN, I was appalled by the conditions that they were working in.

To say it is overcrowded is an understatement. Even cleanliness in such an old building is a problem. If there was a fire I am sure there would be loss of life in trying to evacuate the many debilitated patients.

We desperately need an update and a new hospital in Penticton. Please support our community by letting our government know of our need of an efficient regional hospital.
