MONCTON AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW BRUNSWICK
One year inside Moncton’s new Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit
Just over one year ago, a new care space opened at Horizon’s The Moncton Hospital, building on services families in the region have relied on for decades.
The Jean Elizabeth Saunders Irving Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit brings obstetrical and newborn services together under one roof. Officially opened on May 14, 2025, the nearly 30,000-square-foot space helps families stay connected and supported throughout their journey.
“From pregnancy through postpartum, everything happens here, and that makes a huge difference,” said Donna, a registered nurse in labour and birth.
With more than 1,300 babies welcomed so far, staff say the new space is making a meaningful difference for families and improving the working environment for care teams.
Tantramar marks 1 year of growth
The Family Health Team at Tantramar Primary Health Care Centre is marking one year of progress in strengthening access to care in the area. Now serving more than 2,200 patients, the team has prioritized the timely onboarding of patients and continues to accept new patients through the provincial registry. Since its announcement in April 2025, work has been done to identify a larger clinic space to support the team’s projected growth and patient attachment targets. Renovations are currently underway on a roughly 10,000-square-foot space on the ground floor of The York Building at 24 York St. The new clinic is expected to be ready in 2027, with the current location continuing operations throughout the transition.
