Community Information: 

The beautiful oceanfront Town of Comox is located on the central east coast of Vancouver Island.  The Comox Valley includes the towns of Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland which together have an immediate catchment of over 72,000 people.  With its short, mild winters and warm dry summers, it is one of the most diverse recreational and cultural locations in the world.  Known for its abundant wildlife, it is a place where you can ski, golf, fish and go to the theatre – all in the same day.

Comox offers all the amenities of a larger city with the charm of a small town setting, including high quality daycares, excellent schools (both French and English), relatively affordable housing, and easy access by air to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Comox Valley Hospital is a 154 bed acute care facility opened in 2017, managed by the Vancouver Island Health Authority.  This new facility includes a closed 8-bed ICU and a 10-bed telemetry unit.  In order to support our growing community, the Comox Valley Hospital is looking to expand internal medicine capacity.
