Vernon Jubilee Hospital (VJH) is a hospital located in Vernon, British Columbia, which is a city in the Okanagan region of Canada. Initial examination for constructing a hospital in Vernon began in 1895, when residents of the city demanded a hospital to be created.[1] It was ultimately incorporated in 1897 and serves the North Okanagan regional district.[1] The Vernon Jubilee Hospital offers core physician specialty, and emergency departments, in addition to acute and obstetrical care.[1] This facility is home to 148 beds, although people who would like services that are not offered at the hospital are transferred to the Kelowna General Hospital, which is located in nearby city Kelowna.[1] There has been consideration for more beds to be offered at the hospital.[2]
