The Community

Where rolling hills crested with possibility meet waters that glimmer like shards of a shattered mirror, Vernon awaits.

When silvery snow drapes the slopes in winter's cloak, the mountain stirs, beckoning the adventurous spirit skyward. Let your edges carve fresh tracks through powder, or wobble as you will — the childlike joy of the descent remains the same. Nearby peaks of Sun Peaks and Big White call you to stand atop their frosted shoulders too, completing the glittering triumvirate of white.

Where fairways ripple through valleys between snow-crested peaks, golf calls even in winter's grasp. Predator Ridge's championship courses sprawl a test for the seasoned player, while nearby, The Rise's emerald links bear Couples' signature touch. Let your spirit wander here off the slopes, clubs replacing skis, awe of mountain vistas now backdropped by drives that pierce the sky.

When the valley thaws, new realms of play emerge. As the valley below thaws to summer, Okanagan Lake's crystalline surface shimmers, promising adventure — become one with wake on waterskis, embrace the chill while paddling, or sink into warmth on the sandy shore. Just south, Kalamalka's emerald mirror traces each stroke as you glide across its vision of inverted forest.

Heed the call and come see why so many return here time and again, to this place where wonder and welcome abide.

The Practice

We're a cohesive group of OBGYNs who value both our professional camaraderie and the quality of life we enjoy in beautiful Vernon. Our work isn't just a job; it's a passion. Come join us, and you'll see why.

We're here to support our community with consultative Obstetrics on call, including handling unique cases like twin pregnancies or complex obstetrics. On top of that, we're available for on-call gynecology services. Our schedule includes home call, which might mean some late nights or enjoying most of the night in the comfort of your own bed. Our hospital averages 800 to 900 deliveries each year, and the majority of our patients receive care from our trusted GP and midwifery partners, with whom we have excellent working relationships.

We enjoy generous OR time, frequently collaborating on challenging cases. On any given week, our clinic commitment typically ranges from 1 to 4 days, and 2-3 OR days each month. We cover a wide spectrum of Gynecology, including infertility care, urogynecology, vaginal surgery, and handling complex laparoscopic cases.

We are a 30-minute drive from the airport in Kelowna, making access to and from the Interior easy.

Join us for a locum at VJH and let your OBGYN expertise shine against the stunning backdrop of Vernon. We also welcome both new graduates and experienced hospitalists with open arms! Live, work and play where others only vacation! It's better here!
