Our History
Decades of Caring
The Almonte General Hospital Corporation consists of three entities: Almonte General Hospital, Fairview Manor and Lanark County Paramedic Service.
Almonte General Hospital
The Almonte General Hospital
is a 52-bed acute/complex continuing care hospital serving Mississippi
Mills (Almonte, Pakenham and Ramsay), Arnprior, Carleton Place, the City
of Ottawa and surrounding townships. In addition to providing emergency
and acute care, AGH provides the regional obstetrical, complex
continuing care and day hospital programs.
AGH is the only rural hospital in this region that provides a full
range of obstetrical/gynecological services, including 24-hour epidural,
anesthetic and c-section coverage. AGH’s regional obstetrical program
is staffed by three obstetrician/gynecologists plus family physicians who
provide obstetrical services.
In 2018, Almonte General
Hospital received two health care murals which were previously installed
on historical buildings in downtown Almonte. Now this health care
history can live on through these portraits on the exterior walls of the
hospital. Learn more about the murals.
Fairview Manor
Fairview Manor
is a 112-bed long-term care facility whose residents are drawn from
Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Beckwith, Lanark Highlands and the
western part of the City of Ottawa.
In June 2002, AGH and the County of Lanark reached an agreement to
redevelop Fairview on land adjacent to AGH. It is attached to the
hospital by a linking hallway, which maximizes operating efficiencies
while making it easy for patients, residents, volunteers, staff,
physicians and visitors to move from building to building.
As part of the agreement, AGH agreed to assume management
responsibilities for the existing Manor, effective July 1, 2003. The two
facilities have been sharing support services since 1999. Ownership of
the existing Manor was transferred to AGH on October 1, 2004.
Lanark County Paramedic Service
In 2000, AGH was selected to operate the Lanark County Paramedic Service in partnership with the County of Lanark.
