Mississippi River Health Alliance

Two Hospitals. One Goal. The very best care close to home.

In April 2016, Almonte General Hospital (AGH) and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) created the Mississippi River Health Alliance, building on a history of collaboration. The two hospitals have now formed stronger ties with a single goal: better care.

The Mississippi River Health Alliance (MRHA) supports ongoing planning. There is a joint committee that provides a means for both Boards - as well as other healthcare partners - to work together to identify opportunities for better care. The committee makes recommendations to the two hospital boards.   

The Mississippi River Health Alliance has a new community newsletter – to keep you informed about news at Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor, Lanark County Paramedic Service and Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. We are working together to ensure the very best care close to home. We welcome your input.
