Founded in 1848, Hamilton General Hospital (HGH) was the first hospital in Hamilton. Along with providing general internal medicine care to its large community, it is home to a number of Hamilton Health Sciences’ key regional referral programs, including: burns, cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology, endovascular treatment, extracorporeal life support (ECMO), neurosurgery, stroke, trauma and vascular surgery.  It is also home to programs that provide specialized care to our HNHBB residents: cardiology, neurology and spine. In addition to providing leading-edge care, HGH is strongly connected to its neighbourhood and supports outreach activities aimed at helping to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding community.
