Meet Silja H., a registered nurse at Port Alice Health Centre.

For Silja, rural practice offers something meaningful both professionally and personally: diverse work that keeps her learning, the opportunity to see the wider impact of patient care, and more time with her family in nature.

“Working in rural healthcare has expanded my knowledge in more ways than I knew existed. The diversity of the work keeps me interested, challenged and always learning.”

In the small community of Port Alice, Silja has also found strong connections and deep appreciation for the care she provides.

“The kindness of neighbours and the gratitude for the care that is received here is something I am profoundly thankful for.”

Port Alice Health Centre is located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Quatsino First Nation.
