Sault Area Hospital

Located at the hub of the Great Lakes in beautiful Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, across from our sister city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Sault Area Hospital (SAH) is a vital cornerstone in our community with a long, storied and proud history.SAH began as two community hospitals, both situated on the St. Mary’s River in downtown Sault Ste. Marie—the Sault Ste. Marie General Hospital (Catholic hospital founded by the Sisters of the Cross in 1898) and the Plummer Memorial Public Hospital (founded in 1919). In 1993, the two formed a partnership becoming Sault Area Hospital. Then, in March 2011, we opened a spectacular one-site, state-of-the-art hospital.With a total annual budget of $225 million and operating up to 300 beds, SAH provides primary, secondary and select tertiary services to residents in Sault Ste. Marie and the District of Algoma. We provide core services in Emergency and Critical Care; Cardiac; Medicine; Surgery; Obstetrics, Maternity and Pediatrics; Mental Health and Addictions; Complex Continuing Care; and Rehabilitation.Our regional programs include the Algoma Regional Renal Program (ARRP), which provides comprehensive renal services and is one of 26 regional renal programs across Ontario. The Algoma District Cancer Program (ADCP) offers comprehensive cancer treatment services to residents of the Algoma District. Additionally, SAH operates several programs and services in locations throughout the community.SAH works collaboratively with our local educational institutions to provide a training site for nurses and many other allied health disciplines. We are also a training site for the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), supporting the learning of our medical learners and residents.Sault Ste. Marie is a growing hub for health research. There are approximately 30 studies being spearheaded by physicians at SAH. In addition, SAH has a thriving Clinical Trials Department that works out of our Algoma District Cancer Program. There are approximately 30 clinical trials active at any given time, giving patients access to novel treatments for their care.We are incredibly proud of our approximately 1950 dedicated staff, 160 active physicians and 450 volunteers who provide exemplary service to a catchment population of approximately 114,000 in the Algoma District.SAH is a proud member of the Algoma Ontario Health Team, supporting an integrated health system focused on the unique needs of Algoma residents.
