Health Care Services

There are four hospitals serving Perth County residents, along with 24-hour emergency services. Stratford General Hospital and St. Marys Memorial Hospital are all administered under the regional Huron-Perth Healthcare Alliance; Listowel Memorial Hospital and Mitchell Medical Centre also offer health care services to the region’s residents. The table below provides further
information on the level of care offered.

Facility                             # of Beds                                           

Stratford General                  146                                    

Listowel Memorial                  51                 

St. Marys Memorial                21                     

In addition, Stratford General Hospital has completed a significant expansion that will see it add new units in Intensive Care, Medical Imaging, Mental Health and Emergency Services.
Though there is a strong regional health network serving the region, this area is still slightly underserviced with respect to access to primary care. A 2008 report demonstrated that the total number of physicians for the County as a whole results in a ratio of one physician (GP) to 1,429 people. While this ratio is an improvement over the last measurement taken in 2004, it still exceeds the minimum ratio of 1 GP to 1,380 people used to determine under-serviced areas.
