Port McNeill and District Hospital is an 11-bed acute care community facility operated by Island Health, serving Port McNeill and the broader northern Vancouver Island region including Kyuquot and Zeballos. The Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing care for urgent and life-threatening conditions, with patients triaged by severity rather than arrival order. As a rural community hospital, it offers essential emergency and acute care services, with transfers arranged to larger regional centres such as Campbell River or the Comox Valley for complex cardiac, neurological, or specialist care.
