Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Prince Edward Island

Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Prince Edward Island

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) is a 274 bed acute care hospital located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, making it the largest hospital in the province.

The facility opened in 1982, resulting in the closure of the Charlottetown Hospital and the Prince Edward Island Hospital and is named in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The QEH is located on a large forested campus originally known as Falconwood Farm in the northeast corner of the city adjoining the neighbourhoods of East Royalty and Sherwood, overlooking the Hillsborough River. The Hillsborough Hospital is a psychiatric hospital located on an adjacent property.

The QEH is a full-service health care facility that provides community services to residents of Queens County and is a major referral centre for specialty services for residents across Prince Edward Island.

The QEH provides medical, surgical, ICU, CCU, obstetrics, neonatal, pediatrics, psychiatry and rehabilitation services. The hospital offers full surgical, laboratory and radiology services 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

In 1999 the Prince Edward Island Cancer Treatment Centre opened a new facility at the QEH and was expanded in 2003. At the same time, the main entrance to the QEH off Riverside Drive was upgraded and the Emergency Department was expanded.
