A multi-year journey ended on Friday, April 5, with healthcare teams at the Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH) receiving international praise.
The PRH and Penticton Health Centre were awarded the Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI), a rare designation that recognizes “the high standard of care” provided to babies and new parents.
With Penticton in the fold, just 29 facilities in Canada have been on the receiving end of the award.
