Story

Kelowna General Hospital is a large medical facility located in Kelowna, British Columbia operated by Interior Health and offers medical care in the Central Okanagan. In British Columbia, Kelowna General is the only hospital outside the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island that performs angioplasty or cardiac surgery. It is one of the largest hospitals in Western Canada with more than 700 beds.HistoryKelowna General Hospital originally opened on August 2, 1908 with 19 beds on the land that was donated by Kelowna Land & Orchard Company. This building remained until 1940 when a new hospital building was constructed. The 72-year-old Pandosy Building was demolished in Summer 2012 to make way for a cardiac clinic. In 1969, the five storey Strathcona building was constructed, followed by the five storey Royal Building in 1992. Construction of the new six storey Centennial Tower began in 2008, part of an $800 million capital investment in health care for the Central and North Okanagan since 2007. It was completed on May 27, 2012.2007 Hospital ExpansionPlans to expand Kelowna General Hospital were approved in 2007 to support growing population in the region.

Every time we go, the wait is at LEAST 4-5 hours for emerg. For the simplest things. Need an X-ray - 5 hours. Need an antibiotic - 4-5 hours. Broke something? You guessed it - sit there in pain for HOURS. Their wait times are absolutely ridiculous. Their parking is super expensive. The nurses are mainly grumpy. But the doctors have been decent - they’d get a 4 or 5 star, but out of the HOURS you wait to see them, you spend about 2-3 minutes with them, if that.

We are so appreciative to have the Kelowna General Hospital. We recently brought our son for an angiogram, the team is so knowledgeable and helpful! Dr. Fort and team are God sent! When advised of heart problems and then to have such a great team to correct is like a new lease on life! We are so grateful to have the hospital and the team!

ugh. This hospital is just abysmal in ways. inattentive, impatient. ironically seem to have little understanding of how to deal with mental illness. Generally if this were a private business they would be done a long time ago. Absolutely swallowed up by the competition. There is a reason they have 3 stars. Every visit, there seems to be an issue. They are defensive, take everything personally and act petty. Yes I am generalizing but that seems the general tone. The whole outfit needs an entire overhaul and lesson in service and attitude. This place just makes me want to scream whenever I go. I would love to have nothing but positive to say about the place but not now. Of course the odd person stands out but tends to stand alone.

Really bad experience in kgh hospital. Like they take 5 hours just to complete blood process . If a person is suffering from acute pain they just do calmly their wrk. After every process they ask patients to w8 for another 2 hours thn further process will be carried on . Discustinnggggg........😕😡.

keep in mind that kgh isn't really a hospital its a business, if there not getting paid your not getting treated... a thing to keep in mined for kgh is all the surgery's are all done threw bids so surgeons bid on the sugary like an auction witch is scary if u think about it.. and most doctors cant get there bids in so they leave cause there not making money here... and they wonder why we cant get doctors.. ur best bet is Vernon jubilee hospital I would recommend but as for kgh I would avoid it if my life depended on it...
