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.
