Kamloops hospital elevators back in service

Elevators at Royal Inland Hospital’s Clinical Services Building are up and running, with repairs completed Friday night.

The elevators experienced an unexpected equipment failure on Jan. 17, resulting in a temporary change to parking at RIH, according to an Interior Health news release.

"Beginning immediately, patient/visitor paid parking returns to the public parkade in the CSB. Staff and physician passholder parking returns to the staff parkade behind the hospital," the release said.

"Signage will be in place to direct public back to the CSB parkade. Drivers should note that this parkade is strictly for patients and visitors while they are conducting business at RIH."

The CSB is located at the front of the Columbia Street hospital campus and includes parking and various outpatient clinical services.
