Okanagan MLA Calls for Head of Interior Health to Step Down

  • On May 26, the pediatric department at Kelowna General had to shut down due to critical shortages in staffing amid a widespread healthcare crisis in the region.
  • The closure followed years of mismanagement and failing staffing models that led to resignations, including seven pediatricians quitting in 2023.
  • MLA Gavin Dew called for Interior Health CEO Susan Brown's immediate resignation and urged Health Minister Josie Osborne to appoint an interim CEO.
  • Despite the crisis, top executives including Brown received up to 12% pay increases in 2023, with Brown’s total compensation reaching $472,607.
  • This situation highlights urgent calls for leadership change to restore trust and stability as health professionals and taxpayers express deep concern.
