Life at WAHA


A beacon of healing, wellness, and innovation, WAHA connects remote communities with the care they deserve.


With spellbinding views surrounding each site, team members bask in the tranquility of the land, juxtaposed against


a bustling workplace busy addressing the complex needs of the region. Here, we work with purpose, knowing each


action matters. Patients are neighbours, family, and colleagues. Each day brings a challenge- the good kind that
