Good for her.

I wish they would have left the Hospital name as PGRH. This new name is a bust. Not only is it too long, it is specific to the University, and Prince George, and totally ignores the Region except in the Northern part which means nothing.

A better name would been the Prince George Regional University Hospital, or some such.

The University Hospital of Northern British Columbia, Prince George, BC

Short enough?

Vancouver General Hospital is known as VGH, a bit shorter, I admit.

Prince George Regional Walk In Clinic? Does the hospital still send preggy babes to Richmond to have their babies? And to Quesnel to have yer tonsils removed? Does the resident plastic surgeon still go out of town to compensate for the lack of hours he doesn't get at this hospital? Gonna rename the buses too?
