About Us

The North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) is a unique healthcare organization with three primary roles. It provides acute care services to North Bay and its surrounding communities, it is the district referral centre providing specialist services for smaller communities in the area, and it is the specialized mental health service provider serving all of northeast Ontario.

NBRHC has 489 beds and numerous outpatient and outreach services in North Bay and throughout the northeast region.

NBRHC is one of four major acute care hospitals serving northeast Ontario; the others being Sault Area Hospital, Timmins and District Hospital and Health Sciences North (Sudbury). The area is also served by small community hospitals like Mattawa and West Nipissing General hospitals.

NBRHC’s Regional Mental Health Services provides inpatient beds in North Bay and Sudbury and outpatient and outreach services throughout the region—from Hudson Bay to Muskoka from Sault Ste. Marie to the Quebec border.

A major teaching centre for students in medicine, psychiatry, nursing and allied health professions, NBRHC is proud to be affiliated with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Nipissing University, Canadore College and several other Ontario colleges and universities.

NBRHC is truly a caring place. Our staff and physicians maintain high standards and are flexible and innovative and ready to try new approaches that will improve patient care. Patients and their families repeatedly tell us that they appreciate the warm and skilful care they receive at NBRHC.

Facilities

The North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) opened for patient care January 30, 2011.

Main Campus

Our health centre has been built on an 80 acre green field site, allowing us to build out and not up. NBRHC has a total of 750,000 square feet with two levels in the west end (Regional Mental Health) and three levels in the east end (Acute Care). The distance around the ring road, the road that circles the entire facility, is approximately 1.6 kilometres (1 mile).

The facility was created using natural accents such as wood, stone and plenty of natural lights. Our building was created with the patient in mind, with windows in all patient rooms; a higher proportion of private and semi-private rooms. Next to the cafeteria is a 138 seat auditorium that can accommodate large groups. Located at 50 College Drive – North Bay.

Kirkwood Place is located alongside Ramsey Lake in Sudbury.  It provides regional mental health service programs for adults and seniors.  HSN occupies the fourth floor of this building with an acute inpatient mental health unit. The facility has recently gone through some upgrades to the exterior of the building. Located at 680 Kirkwood Drive – Sudbury.
