Grey Bruce Huron Paramedic Base Hospital Program

The Grey Bruce Huron Paramedic Base Hospital Program is part of the Clinical Services portfolio of Grey Bruce Health Services with offices located at the Owen Sound Site.

A Base Hospital is a hospital that has applied for and been designated as such by the Minister of Health. A Base Hospital provides medical direction; leadership and advice in the provision of ambulance based pre-hospital emergency health care within a broad based, multi-disciplinary, community emergency health services system in a specified geographical area. This involves the Base Hospital acting as a resource centre and facilitator to assist in ensuring that ambulance based pre-hospital care and transportation is meeting the community’s needs.

In addition, the Base Hospital provides medical direction, training, quality assurance, continuing medical education and guidance to ambulance based pre-hospital emergency care providers. The Base Hospital also functions in an advisory capacity to the Ministry of Health on matters relating to ambulance based pre-hospital emergency care.

Our program provides base hospital services to Grey, Bruce and Huron County’s emergency medical services with over 220 paramedics under our jurisdiction.
