Kamloops Cancer Centre
Interior Health, in partnership with BC Cancer (Provincial Health Services Authority), is building a new cancer centre at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops to bring cancer care closer to home for patients and families.
The new centre is expected to provide space for:
- Patient arrival and check-in
- Radiation treatment, including shielded treatment rooms (bunkers) with high-energy radiation treatment linear accelerators (LINACS)
- Radiation therapy planning including CT simulator
- Diagnostic MRI
- An outpatient oncology ambulatory care unit, including exam rooms and consult rooms
- An interfaith sacred space for traditional cultural and healing practices
- Staff support, including offices and workstations
- A parkade
In addition to building a new cancer centre, upgrades will be made to the community oncology clinic. Hospital upgrades will include modernizing and increasing the number of cancer treatment spaces and exam rooms at Royal Inland Hospital. The pharmacy will also be renovated and expanded, with enhanced functionality, including the installation of improved dispensing and automated dispensing replenishing area, along with additional storage.
A new 470-stall parkade will be built as a part of the centre.
The cancer centre is a part of the B.C.’s 10-year Cancer Action Plan, which outlines steps to prevent, detect and treat cancers, delivering improved care for people facing cancer now while preparing for the growing needs of the future.
