About Pinawa Hospital

Pinawa Hospital is an accredited 17-bed acute care facility located at 30 Vanier Dr in Pinawa, Manitoba, operated by the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA). The emergency department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, serving Pinawa and the surrounding rural communities of eastern Manitoba with emergency and outpatient care, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, and EMS support. As a small rural hospital, it is best suited for urgent but non-complex medical needs; patients requiring advanced specialist care or high-acuity trauma treatment may be stabilized and transferred to a larger regional facility.
