Two New Open Heart Surgery Centers in British Columbia
Two major BC hospitals, Royal Columbian in New Westminster and Kelowna General, will add open heart surgery programs. Royal Columbian aims to operate within a year, with about $2 million in renovations and equipment and an expected 160 to 200 cases in year one. Kelowna General will integrate the capacity later with a $25 million addition under construction and expects procedures within four to five years. The plan responds to rising demand from an aging population.
