Community Health Service Areas (CHSAs) in British Columbia (B.C.) are administrative bounds nested within Local Health Areas (LHAs) as defined by the B.C. Ministry of Health. This CHSA health profile contains information about the community’s demographics, socio-economic and health/disease status as represented through various community health indicators. The purpose of CHSA health profiles is to help B.C.’s primary care network partners, public health professionals and community organizations better understand the health needs of a specific community and to provide evidence for service provisioning and prevention strategies.
Downtown Kelowna (CHSA 1375) is 38 km² in size and is the central area of the city of Kelowna, located in the southern interior of the Okanagan Valley. Major establishments include the Kelowna General Hospital, Waterfront Park, and the Cultural District.[1]
