There is a phone service interruption at Strait Richmond Hospital in Cape Breton. A temporary work around has been put in place so the site is able to receive incoming phone calls through the regular switchboard number 902-625-3100. Crews are working on restoration of inbound calling to all other site phone lines. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Nova Scotia Health has made changes to parking and the main entrance of the QEII Halifax Infirmary. Learn more.
Nova Scotia has two specialty cancer centres, the QEII Cancer Centre in Halifax and the Cape Breton Cancer Centre in Sydney. Each provide a full range of cancer treatments, services and supports.
Cancer centre staff also work closely with cancer health providers in community cancer clinics to provide patients with as much cancer treatment and care as is safely possible close to where they live. This includes some assessment services like doing tests to understand the cancer and possible treatments, systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy), supportive care and follow-up care. Radiation therapy is only available at the two cancer centres.
