Who We Are
About our Hospital and Alliance
The Wellington Health Care Alliance (WHCA) is comprised of three, rural, acute care hospitals: North Wellington Health Care, with hospital sites in Mount Forest (Louise Marshall Hospital) and Palmerston (Palmerston and District Hospital) and Groves Memorial Community Hospital located in Fergus. Each hospital provides a comprehensive range of surgical, inpatient and outpatient services, including 24/7 emergency care.
WHCA is an administrative alliance that was formed to provide a strong, consistent voice for rural health care. We value the strength we have with our health care partners across the Waterloo-Wellington region.
