Why More Albertans Are Turning to Kelowna for Private Surgical Care
If you’re an Alberta resident facing long wait times for surgery, you’re not alone. The public healthcare system continues to struggle with backlogs, leaving many patients in pain — and in limbo. Fortunately, there’s an option that doesn’t involve months of waiting: private surgery in beautiful Kelowna, BC.
Kelowna: A Top Choice for Out-of-Province Surgical Care
Located in the heart of the Okanagan, Okanagan Health Surgical Centre is a fully accredited, state-of-the-art facility offering a wide range of procedures.
