Caring for the deceased is an essential component of healthcare and should be prioritized with the same level of attention and respect as care for the living. Interior Health is committed to delivering high-quality services that honor the dignity of individuals and families, while maintaining robust, compassionate, and efficient processes in the management of deceased patients. This commitment extends to fostering a culture of empathy, compassion, and trust.
Interior Health operates 26 facilities with mortuary capacity. The capacity at each site is influenced by four primary factors:
As the population increases, the demand for morgue space is anticipated to rise accordingly. To address these growing needs and acknowledge the fixed capacity at current sites, the system must proactively plan for the availability of morgue facilities and related services. This will ensure the ability to meet the rising demand while upholding dignity and adhering to health regulations.
To ensure we are prepared for potential increases in demand, it is critical for Interior Health to secure additional mortuary support, including transport and storage services. This proactive approach will safeguard compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, protect the operational integrity of the healthcare system, support the well-being of our staff, and uphold the dignity and safety of deceased patients.
