Welcome from the Chief of Staff

The Medical Staff at Hanover & District Hospital provide comprehensive care for the community. Our Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seeing approximately 16,000 patients a year. Patients admitted to hospital are cared for by their own physicians, or if they do not have a family physician in the community, one is assigned to them for in-patient care. The Obstetrical team delivers approximately 100 babies a year, and recently has added an epidural service to the repertoire. We have welcomed Midwifery services to our hospital and work closely with them. At present, physicians, nurses and midwives are doing moreOB, a three year, comprehensive training program for obstetrical care. As well, we provide prenatal care in our antenatal clinic, giving women a chance to meet the physicians and nurses prior to delivery day.

We have two full time surgeons and a number of visiting specialists. Consultations and many surgical procedures are carried out locally. Cardiac Rehab and Diabetes Education are also available at Hanover & District Hospital.

Chief of Staff
