Haldimand War Memorial Hospital

What Haldimand War Memorial Hospital does

Haldimand War Memorial Hospital (HWMH) is a public community hospital founded in 1920 and located at 400 Broad Street in Dunnville, Ontario, Canada. It serves residents of Haldimand County with a range of acute care, emergency, diagnostic, and rehabilitation services, including a 24/7 Emergency Department, an inpatient unit, surgery, diagnostic imaging (CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, bone density, Holter monitors, ECG), laboratory services, a chronic pain clinic, a diabetes education program, physiotherapy, and four transitional "Back To Home" rehabilitation beds. The hospital operates jointly with Edgewater Gardens, a long-term care home under shared board leadership and the same President and CEO, and participates in regional partnerships such as the WE-CARE 2 IMAGE diagnostic imaging central intake program and the Hamilton Regional Laboratory Medicine Program.

HWMH is funded primarily through the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care via the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), operating within Canada's universal public healthcare system under OHIP coverage. Most services are publicly funded; ancillary revenue is generated from uninsured patient fees (for example, the uninsured portion of ambulance service and medical supplies such as crutches, splints, and casts), with cataract lenses paid by debit or credit only prior to surgery. The hospital is transitioning to cashless patient billing effective April 1, 2026, accepting debit, credit, cheque, and bank draft. As a not-for-profit community facility, HWMH does not have equity funding rounds, private investors, or traditional PE/VC backers; governance rests with a volunteer Board of Directors.

The hospital employs 101–250 staff and was awarded Accreditation with Exemplary Standing by Accreditation Canada following an on-site survey in March 2025, the highest accreditation tier. The technology stack is limited to standard hospital medical equipment and diagnostic modalities rather than proprietary software platforms; no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or developer-facing technology are mentioned. Recent leadership transitions include the appointment of Dr. Amanda Bell as Chief of Staff effective September 2, 2025, and the announced retirement of President and CEO Sharon Moore effective June 30, 2026, with a successor search underway. Edgewater Gardens' long-term care capacity is doubling from 64 to 128 spaces, representing the most material recent expansion of the affiliated footprint.
