We love it here…
"When I first moved to Revelstoke, I did not expect this city to capture my heart the way it has. Every day I am surrounded by glacier-capped mountains and views that never get tiring. My work started in Revelstoke at QVH as a care aide, then acute care RN, and now public health nurse for 16 years. My co-workers in all departments know each other, have fun together, and work as a team for client care. I never hesitate to give someone a call for help or information. Fortunately, this is how our whole city works. My community partners work together on common goals, looking to see what they can bring to our next project. I truly love the people and living in this little town. I have even learned to swim in the glacier-fed lakes!" – Jo-Ann Scarcella, Public Health Nurse, Revelstoke Health Centre.
