Prince County Hospital’s intensive-care unit to reopen in August, administrator confirms – CBC
In-person oncology appointments at the Summerside hospital to resume Aug. 11
Jul 14, 2025
Prince County Hospital in Summerside is preparing to restore two crucial health services next month, including the reopening of its intensive-care unit and resuming in-person oncologist appointments.
The eight-bed ICU has been closed since May 2023 due to a lack of specialized staff.
Since then, more serious intensive-care cases have been handled at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, 60 kilometres away.
“It’s been a couple of years before we’ve been able to offer this specific level of critical-care services, and we’re very much looking forward to the opportunity to do that again,” Rob Philpott, Prince County Hospital’s administrator, told CBC’s Island Morning on Monday.
