The Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (RHA) is tasked with planning and delivering healthcare services to address the diverse needs of its population. The region encompasses a broad economic spectrum, including agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry, hydroelectric power, and tourism. Seasonal recreational activities significantly influence the demand for healthcare services.

Despite the economic diversity, there is notable disparity in both health and economic status across the region. However, a majority of residents report being in good to excellent health. The Interlake-Eastern RHA evaluates and prioritizes health services using the latest information and best practices, ensuring that care is aligned with current needs and standards.

The organization emphasizes a region-wide focus on health and wellness, valuing strong community partnerships. Through a collaborative approach, the RHA works with various stakeholders to establish mutually agreed-upon goals and assess progress in achieving them, reinforcing their commitment to comprehensive and effective healthcare delivery.
