Emergency department to expand at Nicola Valley Hospital
MERRITT, B.C. — Serving nearly 12,000 patients every year, the Nicola Valley Hospital and Health Centre is a cornerstone of the region, not only for residents in merritt but also for people travelling on one of the four area highways that intersect through Merritt.
But the emergency department is becoming too small to serve the volume of patients it gets now.
“Probably the last three years we’ve definitely outgrown our space,” say nurse Kara Ritchie.
