Some Northern Interior Health Unit services moving next year

Northern Health’s Northern Interior Health Unit (NIHU) will be making a move in spring 2026.

According to Northern Health, the current NIHU building will be deconstructed after the move to make space for the tower.

NIHU services will be relocated to Parkwood Mall with teams settling into two areas.

The former China Cup Buffet unit will now house:

• Mental Health Rehabilitation Team
• Community Acute Stabilization Team
• Community Outreach and Assertive Services Team
• Adult Addictions Day Treatment Program

The former Hudson’s Bay unit (second floor) will now house:

• Interprofessional Community Teams (IPTs) – including the John G. Mackenzie Family Practice Centre
• Preventative and Public Health Team
• Child and Youth Services, including:

1. Speech/language clinics
2. Northern Health Assessment Network
3. Communication Assistance for Youth and Adults (CAYA)

Construction on the tower is set to start next year and wrap up in 2031, bringing 109 new beds to UHNBC.
