Listowel Wingham Hospital Alliance
The Listowel Wingham Hospitals Alliance was formed on July 1, 2003 as a partnership between Listowel Memorial Hospital and Wingham and District Hospital. As an Alliance, we share a common management structure with a single management team and one Mission, Vision & Values. There are still two separate corporations, however, the two boards meet at the same time as a single Alliance Board. We look for opportunities to share services and programs across our two communities and find creative ways to link to our community partners.
