Ajax Pickering Hospital is a full-service community hospital that provides safe, quality care to people who live and work in Ajax and Pickering.
The Hospital has a seven-decade history of looking after our community, with its first building arriving on site in 1954, then moving into a new “modern” brick tower in 1964 (currently the east tower), expanding to include the west tower in 1991 and then the north tower in 2011.
