Prince County Hospital

Prince County Hospital is a 102 bed acute care facility providing services in surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, radiology, pathology, endoscopy, anesthesia, rehabilitation, oncology, and emergency. It is located in Summerside, Prince County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

The Prince County Hospital (PCH) is the province's second largest acute care hospital and the first Island hospital to be located outside of Charlottetown. The original location of the Prince County Hospital was on St. Stephen St. in downtown Summerside and was replaced in 1951 by the second iteration located on Beattie Avenue. Beattie Avenue was so named to honour Grace Brow Beattie, RN, the first superintendent of PCH. In April 2004, the PCH moved into a new facility in Summerside. The new hospital continues to provide a wide range of in-patient, outpatient and community-based health and wellness services.

The hospital is located on a 27-acre property located on Roy Boates Avenue in Summerside, in the city’s north end; named to honour Roy Boates, a pharmacist at PCH. The site provides good access from Route 2, and is close to the main Summerside population and seniors housing.

There is a Helipad located at the hospital, details may be found in the List_of_airports_in_Prince_Edward_Island.
