St. Martha’s Regional Hospital in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, is highlighting its current service hours and locations to help residents plan their medical visits. These schedules cover specimen testing drop-offs, blood collection, and diagnostic imaging services.
According to Nova Scotia Health, the hospital recently moved its specimen testing drop-off site. As of March 2, 2026, patients must now bring their samples to the blood collection clinic located on the main floor of the hospital.
Diagnostic imaging services, including CT scans and ultrasounds, are available during the week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m., depending on the specific department. These departments do not offer routine services on Saturdays or Sundays, so residents are encouraged to arrive during regular weekday hours to avoid delays.
The emergency department at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital remains open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Patients who need emergency care should use the separate entrance located off Bay Street rather than the main hospital doors.
These schedules help the facility manage the demand for care across the region. The hospital continues to provide these services with support from the St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Foundation and the St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Auxiliary.
