“Stigma drives people to use alone and that isolation has been disastrous with the overdose crisis and the pandemic combined,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “Embedding these new multidisciplinary teams in communities will provide a clear a path for people to access the health care they need and to be seen with dignity, compassion, and respect.”
The five Interior Health teams are based throughout the southern Interior in the Cranbrook, Penticton, West Kelowna, Kamloops and the Enderby / Salmon Arm areas.
