Find a Family Doctor in Kelowna, BC

Kelowna is the largest city in BC's Okanagan region with a population of approximately 230,000 in the greater area. The city is a major healthcare centre for the Interior, falling under Interior Health. Kelowna General Hospital is the region's largest hospital, and the city is home to the UBC Okanagan medical campus, which trains new physicians. The Okanagan has experienced rapid population growth, particularly from retirees and families relocating from the Lower Mainland. This growth has strained primary care resources. Interior Health operates a UPCC in Kelowna that provides same-day urgent care and pathways to primary care attachment. Kelowna residents without a family doctor should search mydoctorbc.ca for clinics in Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Lake Country. The city has a mix of traditional family practices, walk-in clinics, and newer team-based care models. Registering with Health Connect Registry through Interior Health is strongly recommended, as the registry prioritizes patients with complex health needs and those who have been waiting longest.
