Dawson City Medical Clinic & Hospital

Dawson City is home to about 2,500 residents – 2,000 or so in the winter and more than 3,000 in the summer. Our Medical Clinic and Hospital serve our local population, as a well as an expansive surrounding catchment area, including a vast number of remote mining and work camps (and numerous off-grid remote households).

Facilities

Located in the centre of town, our two storey GP-run hospital is equipped to handle a variety of in and out-patient treatments and medical emergencies. The medical clinic is conveniently located inside the hospital building. The hospital itself has six inpatient beds with a 24 hour ER, and basic lab and X-Ray. The emergency department has two trauma bays, two assessment rooms, a procedural/cast room, an eye room, a gynecology/obstetrics room, a safe room, and a decontamination bay. A point-of-care ultrasound is available for use.

Upstairs in the same building is the Dawson City Health Centre, staffed by a great team of Public Health Nurses and Mental Wellness and Substance Use Counsellors

There is only one pharmacy in town, also located in the hospital building!

Attached to the hospital is McDonald Lodge, a 15 bed long-term care facility. HomeCare nursing also operates out of this area.
