We have a well-equipped ward with 10 inpatient beds shared with adult services. We also have a Level 1 nursery for infants born at 36 weeks’ gestation or later. Maternity care is shared among six obstetricians, a group of midwives, and the South Okanagan Maternity Clinic. This position is fully supported by electronic medical records, integrated among the collaborating pediatricians. Hospital duties include consultations in the Emergency Department, Labour and Delivery, and inpatient ward coverage. We also participate in the regional assessment team for complex developmental disabilities, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, and autism programs, as well as periodically offer optional outreach clinics to the Penticton Indian Band and Princeton. Clinic space is available. Join a group of three well-established pediatricians in a newly renovated outpatient clinic, just five minutes from the hospital and in the heart of downtown Penticton.
