West Coast General Hospital MSA

14/03/2026

One of the perks of working at the hospital in Port Alberni? 🎣 Fishing on your days off... or even before and after your shift!

In a small city like ours, you’re never far from the water. Cast a line in the river, head out on the Alberni Inlet, or catch the sunrise at Sproat Lake before work. It’s all just minutes away.

Here, work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword — it’s reality. You can finish your shift and be on the water in no time, enjoying the calm, the scenery, and everything the West Coast lifestyle has to offer.

Your skills belong somewhere they’re valued—and somewhere you can thrive outside of work, too.

💙 More Than a Job. A Way of Life.
