Our Organization

The South Huron Hospital (SHH) was established in 1953 and serves a wide catchment area, including the Municipality of South Huron and its adjacent communities.


Located in a small, rural community, we are proud to offer a 24/7 Emergency Department. With 19 inpatient beds, we provide acute, rehabilitation, and complex continuing inpatient care. Our outpatient services encompass the continuum of care as we strive to meet the evolving needs of our patients and surrounding communities.


SHH is a proud member of the Huron Perth and Area Ontario Health Team.
