Penticton Herald: People living in Penticton and surrounding communities have better access to team-based everyday health care with a new urgent and primary care centre (UPCC) that is now open at 101 - 437 Martin Street. "The opening of the Penticton UPCC is excellent news for people living in the region," said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. "The centre will help connect more people with the health care they need when they need it most. Area residents who currently do not have a primary care provider will benefit from increased access to same-day appointments for urgent needs and ongoing primary care."
