Prince George,  B.C.- The Fraser-Fort George Regional Hospital District is investing $698,590 to help fund a new urology table for the University  Hospital of Northern  B.C., Prince George (formerly  the  Prince George Regional Hospital). The total amount of the table is $900,000, with the remaining  funding coming from Northern Health.

The equipment was needed as existing equipment was outdated and difficult to maintain and repair,causing delays in surgeries and sending patients out of town for procedures which could otherwise be performed locally. The new urology table will provide stability, access, and precise positioning for urology surgical patients.

“The investment we are making today will go a long way in improving the health services for people in our region,” says Regional Hospital District Acting Chair Dave Wilbur. “We appreciate the contributions of the Regional Hospital District and their ongoing investment in our  hospitals and services,” says Aileen Kerr, Health Services Administrator for Prince George with Northern Health.
