Health Sciences North (HSN) is a hospital located on 41 Ramsey Lake Road in the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It is the only trauma centre in Northern Ontario (else require transfer to trauma centres Southern or Eastern Ontario) and Manitoba (no trauma centre in that province).
The HSN, formerly the Sudbury Regional Hospital (SRH), was established in the 1990s as part of provincial health care restructuring program by the Mike Harris government. The city formerly had three community hospitals, Sudbury General (completed in 1950), Sudbury Memorial (completed in 1956), and Laurentian Hospital (completed in 1975), and one mental health and community service facility, Sudbury Algoma Hospital. The three hospitals officially amalgamated in 1997 into a single corporation, the Hôpital Régional de Sudbury Regional Hospital (HRSRH), but remained a multi-site facility. In November 2011, the SRH was renamed to "Health Sciences North" as the hospital has become more of an academic research centre as well as a hospital.

“In our great concern about the mental health of children, however, we have overlooked the mental health of mothers. They have been led to believe that their children’s needs must not be frustrated, and therefore all of their own normal angers, the normal ambivalences of living, are not permissible. The mother who has “bad” feelings toward her child is a bad mother.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The well-educated young woman of 1950 will blend art and sciences in a way we do not dream of; the science will steady the art and the art will give charm to the science.

—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
