Inspection summary

Arrow Lakes Hospital has been inspected 9 times by Interior Health Authority since May 30, 2013. The most recent inspection, on June 22, 2026, found no infractions.

6 of 9 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control.

The last 4 inspections in a row found no infractions. The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on October 7, 2015. For example: 4 - Are proper refrigeration, freezing and thawing procedures followed?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on August 24, 2017. For example: 4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2018. For example: FI1.1 Is the food service establishment following the Informed Dining requirements (voluntary program)?

    Went into emergency Saturday afternoon with a good sized flesh wound to my knee, requiring stitches. Joanna my nurse was amazing and kept me calm. I was treated very quickly and very thoroughly. Thanks you to Joanna and Dr Jefferson for taking such good care of me. Great experience at Naskup hospital today all around.

    Severe allergic reaction happened while camping. The staff and practitioners of this emergency room provided so much support, help, and went above and beyond what I would ever expect. I don't think I have ever experienced such a high level of care and attention in my life. Thank you so much team.

    Being a walking accident I have been to the hospital many times and a few times my wife. Wonderful staff and have always had the best of care. If I could, I would give them a ten star rating.
