Lakeridge Health Bowmanville is a fully accredited hospital in Clarington, Ontario, Canada, servicing the municipality of Clarington. It is run by Lakeridge Health Corporation, part of the Central East Local Health Integration Network.

The hospital was founded as Memorial Hospital Bowmanville in 1913. In 1998, it became part of the Lakeridge Health Corporation, along with other hospitals in the region.

History[edit | edit source]

The hospital was originally a private residence, purchased in 1912 by J.W. Alexander, President of the Dominion Organ and Piano Company, who donated it for use as a hospital. A new building was constructed on the same site and opened in 1951.

Over the years, the hospital underwent renovations and additions to accommodate its growing programs and services. In 2009, several new projects were approved, including the addition of a mammography unit, coffee kiosk, and gift shop. In 2011, a new space for the Critical Care unit was opened.

Lakeridge Health Bowmanville continues to provide essential healthcare services to the community of Clarington and is an important part of the Lakeridge Health Corporation.
