About Us

Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) is a 37-bed community hospital in rural Ontario that works with its partners to improve the health of communities in Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry and surrounding areas. The hospital is nestled in the family friendly community of Alexandria, Ontario, roughly one hour east of Ottawa via Highway 417 or one hour west of Montreal on Highway 401 or 417 and 25 minutes north of the City of Cornwall and the Cornwall-Massena border crossing, using county roads 20, 34 or Highway 138, and along the Via Rail train route.

We are a culturally vibrant community with always something to see and do. We have an excellent variety of shopping and dining options for our size. If you love to stay active year-round, we’ve got you covered with year-round soccer, golf, cross-country ski and fat bike trails, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, skydiving, kayak/canoeing, and a community pool.

 HGMH is run by family physicians providing inpatient, emergency and primary care services. Our emergency department serves approximately 20,000 people per year. We have in-house x-ray, ultrasound and lab, and a CT coming soon. We are home of the regional stroke and geriatric rehabilitation programs serving the entire population east of Ottawa.  Because of this, we have excellent inpatient Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and SLP support.
