Uxbridge Cottage Hospital

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.

Famous quotes containing the words cottage and/or hospital:

    It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
