More Healthy

Friendly, caring and professional would concisely describe Health Care in the South Kootenay. Generally speaking Health Professionals are here for the same reason your are. They seek a more fulfilling and healthy life.

Don't be surprised to meet up with your family doctor whilst riding the chairlift at the local ski hill and if you do happen to require a hospital visit - the chances are your nurse will be a mom from the local 'Mom, Dad & Me' Social Group. The facilities are extensive for a rural community and the bonus is in having the hospital centrally located.

Urban Dweller: "I have a great retirement fund and thought I could gear down a little, maybe buy a more affordable house and start up a small business that my sons could take over. They love outdoor recreation, so I'd love to move to the South Kootenay where we've only visited, but my health is not great and I fear that I won't be able to find a suitable physician or the care I need. I know the fresh air and more active lifestyle may help me but I'm nervous about the move. If I could get more information I might just make the move".

SKP: "I used to work as lawyer in the city and after suffering 2 heart attacks decided it was time to change my lifestyle, plus I wanted to live my life before it was too late. I still needed continuing care and the specialist I saw is now my golfing partner. It seems he left town for similar reasons and we just went into partnership on a small sideline property development venture. We both maintain our small practices in law and medicine and are living well'!
