Islands Health Centre | Nova Scotia Health

Nova Scotia Health's new health information system will continue to roll out beginning November 14th, 2026, at all facilities in the Northern, Eastern and Western Zones.

During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.

You may notice staff in coloured vests and t-shirts helping our care teams adapt to the new system.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
