FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Northern residents will have access to sustained surgical capacities in Prince George after Northern Health assumed operation of the Prince George Surgery Centre on Monday.

“When you or someone you love requires a surgery, long wait times can be stressful and disheartening,” said Dix.
“That’s why we are supporting Northern Health in taking on surgical operations at the Prince George Surgery Centre where people requiring low-complexity procedures can receive care.”
Day surgeries completed at the new centre include plastic, orthopedic, and cataract surgeries.
