River Valley Health is the largest geographic health region in the
province of New Brunswick, delivering care at 19 separate facilities located
in a geographic area that exceeds 23,000 square kilometres. Services are
provided at the regional hospital, four community
hospitals, nine health centres, three specialty units and through an active
Extra-Mural Program that delivers hospital care in the home.
The Regional Hospital
The Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital is the regional referral centre for
the most complex cases in the region. This 314-bed facility offers a full range
of specialized (secondary, elevated secondary and tertiary care) services, as
well as dedicated family practice, surgical, palliative care and geriatric
units, an active emergency department, and a high volume ambulatory care
program.

Community Hospitals
River Valley Health community hospitals are located in four
townships. These sites provide inpatient care as well as a more significant
level of diagnostic and therapeutic services than delivered in the health
services centres. All facilities offer primary care and, depending on the
location, general surgical services and select specialized surgical services.

Health services centres in River Valley Health provide primary care in rural
areas and are able to link to larger health care facilities if required. Some
health services centres have a small number of beds for holding and observation
purposes. All centres provide referral, diagnostic, ambulatory care and some
therapeutic services.
These health services centres focus on disease prevention, wellness promotion
and case management of chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes and
hypertension. A number of educational programs are available, such as smoking
cessation, weight and cholesterol monitoring clinics, osteoporosis clinics,
menopause workshops, foot care clinics, and a variety of clinics to support
mothers and newborns.
