Living in Port Alberni means you’re never far from nature, and that includes all the amazing wildlife that calls this place home 🦌🌲

From deer grazing nearby to birds soaring overhead, and yes… even the squirrels! 🐿️
Sometimes the best part of your day is simply slowing down, taking a moment, and watching them go about their busy little lives.

It’s a good reminder to pause, soak it all in, and appreciate the beauty that’s right in front of us every day.

We’re pleased to share that this week marks Dr. Yehia’s one-year anniversary as an Associate Physician here at West Coast General Hospital! 🎉

Moving from Surrey to Port Alberni, we asked Yehia what he enjoys most about moving from the busy mainland to Port Alberni, and he said :
The kindness of the people, the slower, calmer pace with less traffic, and the welcoming environment that makes it a great place to raise a family.

Thank you, Yehia, for your dedication and the care you provide to our community! 💙
