About Nova Scotia Health
Nova Scotia Health (NSH) provides health services to Nova Scotians and some specialized services to Atlantic Canadians. We operate hospitals, health centres, and community-based programs across the province. We average more than 70,000 surgeries annually take place in our operating rooms, performed over one million diagnostic imaging exams, and more than 500,000 people visit our emergency rooms. Our entire health system is under a provincial transformation called Action 4 Health which involves expansion of access to primary care and surgical services, new modernized facilities and information systems, and a world-class innovation team.
