The new patient care tower at Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) will include a new consolidated outpatient department, emergency department, operating rooms, a rooftop helipad, two shelled-in floors for inpatient beds, and a clinical academic campus for a University of British Columbia (UBC) faculty of medicine.

The tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital (VJH) will expand and modernize services for patients, including new operating rooms, new emergency room, a new intensive care unit, a new maternity and pediatrics ward, an expanded and a consolidated outpatient department.
