The Annapolis Valley offers abundant nutritious food, fresh air, and plenty of opportunities for healthy exercise.
Medical care
The Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) provides health services to Nova Scotians and some specialized services to Maritimers and Atlantic Canadians. The authority operates hospitals, health centres and community-based programs across the province.
In the Annapolis Valley, NSHA manages and provides healthcare services at three hospitals and three health centres.
The hospitals are Hants Community Hospital in Windsor, Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Middleton, and Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville. All offer medical and surgical care, an emergency department, and many other services.
The three health centres are Annapolis Community Health Centre in Annapolis Royal, Western Kings Memorial Health Centre in Berwick, and Eastern Kings Memorial Community Health Centre in Wolfville. West Hants is part of the West Hants Uniacke Community Health Board.
In addition, the three First Nations have health centres:
- Annapolis Valley First Nation Health Centre
- Glooscap First Nation Health and Healing Centre
- Bear River First Nation Health Centre
The Valley Hospice in Kentville is a stand-alone, home-like health facility. It provides palliative care for patients nearing the end of life who don't require care in a hospital, yet have more care needs than can be provided at home.
