Prince George Regional Hospital has been renamed the University Hospital of Northern B.C.
During today's announcement, Kevin Falcon, B.C. Health Services Minister, said the role of the hospital has changed significantly over the past five years in terms of academic development, teaching, learning, and research in Northern Health.
"The new name better reflects the current role of the hospital as the main teaching site for the Northern Medical Program," said Falcon, referring to the doctor training program at UNBC, which trains physicians for rural and northern practice, .
Dr. Bert Kelly, executive director of the Northern Medical Society, said the NMP Is the prescription issued by the people of the North and the new name captures the spirit of their intent."

paperwork etc with this rename.......Northern health is incredibly inefficient, which is why it is top heavy with
administrators and not with the health care workers who provide the actual services....it's just another example of why I shake my head when anything w/ Northern Health hits the news. Really Citizen investigate where the money from northern healthcare goes.........those in the know who try to provide those services know it's not to front line medical care and the services that are needed in this community.
