On the move Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
It’s likely the biggest move Kelowna has ever seen. On Sunday morning, up to 25 per cent of all patients at Kelowna General Hospital will move, or be moved, from various parts of the facility into the new Centennial Tower. But the patient move is just the completion of a manoeuvre that has taken more than a year to plan and nearly a week to carry out, involving the opening of two large new buildings at the KGH—the six-storey Centennial Tower and the Dr. Walter Anderson Building, new home of the hospital’s clinical support services and laboratories—that has touched, both directly and indirectly, every department at the hospital. But, if all goes according to the plan, the hospital won’t skip a beat. And for the men and women who have worked so hard on every last minute detail, that will be success. See story A3.
