Antigonish

 

Our small town in the northeastern corner of Nova Scotia is a hub and service center for the rural communities surrounding it. With a diverse and growing population, Antigonish is a family friendly town with lots of opportunity, access to good education at all levels, recreation, sports and culture activities, and surrounded by rolling countryside with hiking and beautiful beaches.

Antigonish is a close-knit community where relationships are at the heart of both care and learning. At St. Martha’s and in surrounding clinics, you’ll get to know patients over time and see how care fits into their daily lives. The smaller setting makes it easy to be involved and feel like part of the team.
