Interior Health covers an area that stretches from near Princeton in the southeast to west of Williams Lake in the northeast corner and across to the Alberta border.

“All citizens are invited to join in, ask questions of our panelists, and get answers that we hope will help you and your families through these troubled times,” said Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson in a statement.
