The David E. Kampe Tower at the Penticton Regional Hospital opens on April 29 and there is new access points to the tower.
Once the new tower is open, patients arriving at PRH should check in at the new patient registration desk located in the lobby of the tower. Access to the emergency department at PRH will remain off Carmi Avenue, as the emergency department is not moving into the tower.
