Horizon Health Network

What Horizon Health Network does

Horizon Health Network is a publicly funded regional health authority (Crown corporation) and the largest health authority in New Brunswick and the second-largest in Atlantic Canada, operating 12 hospitals and more than 100 medical facilities, clinics, and offices across the province's four health zones (Fredericton and Upper River Valley, Miramichi, Moncton, and Saint John). The organization delivers a full continuum of care — emergency and acute hospital services, primary care through Family Health Teams, and specialized provincial programs including the NB Heart Centre, NB Trauma Program, NB Organ and Tissue Program, NB Stem Cell Transplantation Program, NB Perinatal Health Program, and Cancer Care — to approximately 550,000 residents. Horizon is supported by 17 foundations and 17 auxiliary and alumnae organizations, employs 13,000+ staff alongside 1,100+ physicians, welcomes 370 medical residents annually, and coordinates 6,000 healthcare student placements in partnership with Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, Memorial University, and the University of New Brunswick.

The organization's underlying technology stack includes healthcare information systems, electronic health records, and an emerging portfolio of AI-enabled tools: AI Scribe for automated clinical documentation, Voice AI for 24/7 phone-based appointment booking, paperless medical imaging (first-in-New Brunswick pilot, expanded to five sites), and wireless fetal monitoring within a Level-3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It also operates specialized infrastructure such as the nearly 30,000-square-foot Jean Elizabeth Saunders Irving Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit (opened May 2025) and the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation, a tertiary neurological rehabilitation facility. In June 2026, Horizon became the first Maritime cancer program to join the Princess Margaret Cancer Care Network, enabling access to specialized expertise, research, and clinical trials.

Horizon's business model is that of a publicly administered, single-payer healthcare system: the Government of New Brunswick is the sole institutional funder, services are provided to residents at no direct charge under the Canada Health Act and New Brunswick Medicare, and the organization has an exclusive legislated mandate within its assigned health zones. Limited ancillary revenue is generated from non-insured services (e.g., preferred accommodation), donor-funded capital campaigns (e.g., the $10.1 million Extraordinary Care Capital Campaign), and 17 supporting foundations. Customer segments span patients and families, the broader New Brunswick population (including 12 of 15 Indigenous communities), physicians and healthcare professionals, and medical/healthcare students, with services accessed through direct referral, emergency departments, and provincial healthcare navigation channels.
