Georgetown Obstetrics Patient Letter

Web Posted:

Dear Patients and Families,

Thank you for trusting Halton Healthcare with your health care journey. We are committed to ensuring you have an exemplary experience no matter what door you walk through with us across our three hospital sites.

At Georgetown Hospital, we have been proudly caring for the community since 1961. Over the past couple years, like other small communities, we have experienced challenges related to providing 24/7 obstetrical care.

To focus on our recruitment efforts and provide stability and predictability for both our patients and staff, we will be temporarily relocating birthing services to Milton District Hospital as of June 1, 2025. Our goal is to resume services in early winter 2025.

Halton Healthcare is fortunate to operate as an integrated system with three hospitals across the region, all within a 30-minute drive. This enables us to make decisions like this one while protecting access to care for our region.

Georgetown obstetrician/gynecologists will continue to provide outpatient prenatal, postnatal, and gynecological services in their community offices and elective gynecologic surgical services at Georgetown Hospital. The only change will be the location of births. Georgetown residents who deliver at Milton will be able to access newborn follow up care in Georgetown through our pediatric program.

Integrating birthing services with Milton District Hospital will have many advantages for patient care, including 24/7 obstetrician coverage, the ability to support higher risk patients and complex deliveries and onsite access to a Special Care Nursery (SCN) for newborns requiring extra assistance.

Learn more information regarding your care and stay in preparation for your birthing experience at Milton District Hospital by taking a virtual tour of our Maternal Newborn unit, here.

In the event of an emergency, please proceed to the nearest emergency department or call 911. Georgetown Emergency Department physicians remain equipped and ready to support in emergencies. Our emergency departments are as follows:

  • Milton District Hospital: 725 Bronte Street S, Milton 
  • Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital: 3001 Hospital Gate, Oakville
  • Georgetown Hospital: 1 Princess Anne Drive, Georgetown

If you require non-urgent care, the following are available to you:

 A full list of community services is available on our website at www.haltonhealthcare.on.ca.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to speak with your care provider or contact our Patient Relations team at patientrelations@haltonhealthcare.com.

Thank you for trusting your care with us,


The Halton Healthcare Team
