Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre

What Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre does

Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre (ERHHC) is a 79-bed integrated public hospital located in the Town of Espanola, Ontario, serving approximately 14,000-15,000 residents across a 55km catchment area in the Lacloche Foothills region of Northern Ontario. Originally established in 1950 as Espanola General Hospital, the facility was redeveloped at its current McKinnon Drive site in 1988 and rebranded in 2009 to reflect its expanded role as a regional health campus. ERHHC operates as a publicly funded institution under Ontario's Public Hospitals Act, with core revenue derived from Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care global budget allocations and OHIP-insured services.

The campus integrates acute care (24-hour emergency department with 11 treatment rooms, 15-bed acute care unit with Hospice Suite), long-term care (61-bed Espanola Nursing Home), primary care (Family Health Team with 5 physicians), diagnostic services (laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound, cardiac testing, 6-bed sleep lab), outpatient services (physiotherapy, on-site pharmacy, visiting specialist clinics), and senior living (Queensway Place 19-unit assisted living and a 30-unit seniors apartment building). The facility functions as a teaching site affiliated with NOSM University, Laurentian University, Cambrian College, and Collège Boréal, and holds Exemplary Status from Accreditation Canada. Revenue is supplemented by charitable donations through the Espanola Regional Hospital Foundation, which funds equipment and capital projects beyond government allocations. The hospital is governed by a Board of Directors and operates within the Robinson Huron Treaty Territory, with a June 2026 first-of-its-kind partnership announced with Whitefish River First Nation, Sagamok Anishnawbek, and the Town of Espanola to explore building a new long-term care home.
