Discovering a new frontier: Ben's journey at Interior Health

October 29, 2024
IH's New Grad Program provided Ben Zygarlicki a framework that helped build his confidence and strengthen his skills.

Moving to a new place often marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in one's life. For Ben Zygarlicki, relocating from Manitoba to the Interior Health (IH) region was more than just a change of scenery—it was a significant step towards building a life centered around personal and professional fulfillment.

Ben's decision to move to the Interior was primarily influenced by personal reasons, particularly to be closer to his partner who resides in the region. However, it wasn't just matters of the heart that drew him here; the allure of the region's natural beauty played a pivotal role.

"I have really enjoyed living in the region so far," Ben shares. "I love the mountain ranges and lakes. The people are also a pretty good bonus to the area. Everyone has been so welcoming and eager to help in my transition."
