Uxbridge Cottage Hospital is a hospital in Uxbridge, Ontario, opened in 1958 with additions in 1967 and 1996. In April 1997, under the Common Sense Revolution, the hospital was amalgamated with Community Memorial Hospital Port Perry to form North Durham Health Services (NDHS). NDHS ceased to exist in 1998. Uxbridge Cottage Hospital was affiliated with Lakeridge Health Centre in Oshawa, and was known as Lakeridge Health, Uxbridge, from 1998 until Jan 5, 2004, when Uxbridge Cottage Hospital was placed under the jurisdiction of the Markham-Stouffville Hospital Corporation.
Though the hospital originally had 49 beds, the number has been reduced to 30. Uxbridge Cottage also provides a 24 hour emergency department, primary care and some secondary care services to the township of Uxbridge.

“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
