Kamloops News Mental health unit added to Kamloops emergency departmentRoyal Inland Hospital's expanded emergency department now includes a dedicated mental health wing. A dedicated mental health area at Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency department just opened, and it means not only privacy but separation from the often-crowded treatment area. The new space dedicated to mental health care opened last week, bringing mental health patients who might have been waiting in hallways or separated by curtains to secure, private treatment rooms. The emergency department is part of a wider expansion project to much of Royal Inland following the Gaglardi Tower construction. Desilets couldn’t say how much of that went to the emergency room mental health unit specifically.
