Nova Scotia Health Authority

On April 1, 2015, Nova Scotia launched a new health system structure to create a foundation for better health and health care.

The nine previous district health authorities have come together as the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA), partnering with the IWK Health Centre to plan and deliver care for Nova Scotians. To find a hospital in your zone/area, click here.
