Fuelled by the rapid expansion and convergence of knowledge in biomedical research as well as information technology, the healthcare and life sciences industry is poised to provide tremendous opportunities for Greater Moncton. The region is home to Medavie Blue Cross, two public healthcare facilities and the Université de Moncton which is well on its way to developing a dynamic life sciences campus.

There are two major regional hospitals, a private healthcare provider, and a newly established medical school and training facility. Greater Moncton is also home to the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute, a true centre of scientific excellence where top researchers are collaborating with partners across Canada and around the world to discover the genetic origins of cancer.

MacLean’s magazine, a well-known national publication, rated Greater Moncton as having the best health care services for a small city in Canada.
