In New Brunswick, we have a health system that is unique and that it is managed by two health authorities: Vitalité and Horizon. The internal working language of Vitalité is French and that of Horizon is English, but when you go to either network , the services offered to the public are available in both official languages so you can receive care in the language of your choice.
Greater Moncton and the Southeast region have healthcare facilities under each authority and these services are offered to the public for free.
The Moncton Hospital is located in the heart of Moncton. The hospital is a leader in providing healthcare and promoting a healthy lifestyle in the Southeast region.
Located in the heart of Moncton, the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre is the lead facility of the Vitalité Health Network.

There are two hospitals located in southeast New Brunswick, outside of the Greater Moncton area. They are both essential to the medical services provided in the area.
For people moving from another province, there is a three-month waiting period before you can become eligible for New Brunswick Medicare. In most cases, during this waiting period, you can continue to receive medical coverage from the province where you previously resided.
Community health and resource centres provide a variety of health services to local residents.
The current wait time to be matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner in New Brunswick is 1-3 years from the time a person adds their name to the provincially operated Patient Access NB registry. It is important to note that people can now add their name to this list before they arrive in New Brunswick.
