Northern Health seeks path forward for hospital name

The Northern Health Authority may not have fully decided how it will choose a name for the new hospital now nearing the end of construction, but it has decided it will not be the one of the current facility – Mills Memorial Hospital.

As to a new name, Artis said Northern Health is still trying to establish how it will make that decision. The Indigenous group is primarily made up of the Kitsumkalum First Nation and the Kitselas First Nation with representation from the Metis Nation B.C., the Nisga’a Nation and the First Nations Health Authority.

The current hospital is named after Dr. Stanley Mills, an early physician to the area who along with his wife Edith, a nurse, provided medical care for decades.
