Description
Opened in 2024, North Cumberland Memorial Hospital is a modern rural community hospital in the heart of Pugwash, offering diverse opportunities for healthcare providers. The facility delivers comprehensive care through primary care, a Level 3 emergency department, ambulatory care services, a small inpatient unit, and an array of outpatient services, including minor procedures, laboratory services, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, mental health support, dietary consultation, and more. The newly built facility is thoughtfully designed, sitting adjacent to a long-term care home with a shared healing garden and green space, fostering a strong connection between acute and continuing care. Overlooking the tranquil Pugwash Harbour, North Cumberland Memorial Hospital provides a serene and picturesque setting, allowing staff and physicians a peaceful retreat from the demands of their workday.

Community Details
Pugwash is representative of all that is good along the northern shores of Nova Scotia: the friendly people, a safe deep harbour, sandy beaches, and the "warmest waters north of the Carolinas" in the summer. Pugwash and area is not just a summer retreat for many cottagers and visitors, it has attractions all year round with excellent hiking , snowmobile and ATV trails, serene wild life habitat reserves nearby, hunting in the fall, and birdwatching in the spring. Long, deep, cool rivers are perfect habitats for salmon. The surrounding areas remain wooded, making excellent habitat for the many birds of prey such as bald eagles and osprey. Ski Wentworth is only a 20 minute drive away and boasts great summer hiking and biking!
Physicians in Nova Scotia provide fulfilling patient care which embraces family life, professional development and community involvement. That's what makes practicing medicine in Nova Scotia unique. Physicians are increasingly attracted to practices that offer team-based care to their patients and allow them to consult with their peers. The size and scale of Nova Scotia allows for better connections across the health care system. Your practice of medicine and your life is richer here. Nova Scotia is more than medicine.
Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) is committed to being a workforce that is free of discrimination, values diversity, and is representative, at all job levels, of the people we serve. Our priority groups are Aboriginal People, African Nova Scotians, Persons with Disabilities and Recent Immigrants. Members of these groups are welcome to apply and self-identify if they wish to be considered under our Employment Equity policy.
