Pembroke Regional Hospital

Located approximately 150 kilometres west of Ottawa, the Pembroke Regional Hospital delivers a broad range of acute, post-acute, outpatient and diagnostic services to a mixed urban and rural population of approximately 55,000 residents in the City of Pembroke, the Town of Petawawa, and surrounding municipalities. With the dedicated support of nearly 800 staff, an engaged physician community and hundreds of active volunteers, the Pembroke Regional Hospital is a designated District Stroke Centre and offers regional programming in the areas of mental health services, orthopaedics, telemedicine, cardiac care, Ontario Breast Screening programs, and cancer care services. Through a variety of partnerships, PRH is able to host a variety of satellite services including a dialysis unit operated by Renfrew Victoria Hospital, a systemic therapy unit for the delivery of chemotherapy which is supervised by local family physicians and coordinated by medical oncologists from The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, as well as numerous other clinical consultations via telemedicine with the Ottawa Heart Institute, the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, The Royal Ottawa Hospital and others. The Hospital offers a full range of diagnostic services including MRI, computed tomography, nuclear medicine and mammography. As PRH is a regional referral centre, we have a large active group of physicians working with us. We have access to a significant number of specialists and we have a team of hospitalists who care for those without a family physician. In addition, we are a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine. We also provide teaching experiences to a wide range of students in various health disciplines. Being a university and college-affiliated hospital keeps PRH at the forefront of patient care, medical knowledge, and health-related research.
