Capital Health By The Numbers - April 2011 to March 2012

Capital Health is Nova Scotia’s largest provider of health services.  We operate hospitals, health centres and community-based programs throughout Halifax Regional Municipality and the western part of Hants County. We are over 12,000 employees, physicians, learners and approximately 1,900 volunteers providing medical and surgical care, mental health care, community health programs, addiction prevention and treatment, and environmental health services. Services are provided through nine hospitals as well as dozens of community health centres across the region.

As an academic district we help educate tomorrow’s health care providers and administrators and we engage in research into new treatments, cures, processes and practices. With an operating budget of more than $800 million, we serve the 400,000 residents of the Halifax region and provide specialist services to the rest of Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
