About Percy e. Moore Hospital

Percy E. Moore Hospital is a federally operated, 16-bed acute care facility located in Hodgson, MB, approximately 192 kilometres north of Winnipeg, serving roughly 10,000 residents across Peguis, Fisher River, Kinonjeoshtegon, Fisher Branch, and surrounding Interlake communities. As one of only two federally operated hospitals in Manitoba under Indigenous Services Canada, it provides 24/7 emergency and outpatient care, making it the essential healthcare hub for First Nations communities and rural farming families in this region. Patients requiring emergency services, diagnostic imaging, dialysis, or primary care in the Interlake area should go directly to Percy E. Moore Hospital, as it is the only local option for urgent and emergent care.

Tips Before You Go

• Call the hospital at 204-372-8444 before your visit to confirm service availability, as some specialist services are provided by physicians who travel in to the region on scheduled rotations.
• If you require dialysis, the on-site six-station Manitoba Renal Program dialysis centre serves local patients — contact the hospital in advance to coordinate your treatment schedule.
• For non-emergency specialist consultations, ask about MBTelehealth services, which connect patients to specialists across Manitoba without requiring travel to Winnipeg.
• Patients requiring complex cardiac, surgical, or trauma care beyond the hospital's scope may be transferred to Winnipeg — if you are travelling from a distance with a serious condition, be prepared for this possibility.
• Plan your route in advance using MB-325; there are limited services along the highway north of Winnipeg, so ensure your vehicle is fuelled and you allow adequate travel time, especially in winter conditions.

What to Bring

• Government-issued photo ID (driver's licence, passport)
• Manitoba Health Card (PHIN card)
• Status card if applicable for federally insured patients
• List of current medications, dosages, and allergies
• List of your family doctor or regular physician's contact information
• Any relevant medical records, previous test results, or referral letters
• Health benefits or supplemental insurance information
• Comfort items for potentially longer waits (water, snacks, phone charger, warm clothing)
