In November 2016, Xaayda Gwaay Ngaaysdll Naay – Haida Gwaii Hospital & Health Centre, a Northern Health facility, opened its doors to serve the communities of Daajing Giids Queen Charlotte, HlGaagilda Skidegate, Tlell, and Sandspit. It replaced the Queen Charlotte Islands General Hospital (1953-2016).
Xaayda Gwaay Ngaaysdll Naay – Haida Gwaii Hospital provides a full range of outpatient and emergency care, as well as in-hospital care (16 beds, 8 of them designated for long-term care) and low-risk obstetrics. It is the hub of the Haida Gwaii Cancer Care program, which gives Haida Gwaii residents access to most chemotherapy treatments locally. The new facility brings together a multidisciplinary team of health care providers, including family physicians and allied health professionals (see Services). Visiting specialists provide our communities with timely access to greater expertise, when necessary.
