Petitcodiac Health Centre is part of South-East Regional Health Authority's multidisciplinary network of hospitals, health centres, services and programs leading the way in health promotion and education. The centre provides a range of services for the Village of Petitcodiac and surrounding areas within a 40-kilometre radius. Petitcodiac is located in New Brunswick, halfway between Moncton and Sussex.
Various drop-in services are provided, including blood tests (conducted on site and sent to The Moncton Hospital for analysis), blood pressure clinics and glucometer checks. Other services available by appointment include immunizations, a dental clinic, monthly dietician visits and a phlebotomy clinic. The Victoria Order of Nurses (VON) conduct a foot care clinic by appointment, and a diabetic clinic is offered on an as-needed basis that includes teaching and personal follow-up education by the nursing staff, by appointment.

Three family physicians and one dentist house their private practices at the centre, and along with several nurses form a multidisciplinary team. More than 27,000 nursing and physician visits are received every year.
Depending on where they live, patients are referred to The Moncton Hospital and the Sussex Health Centre, of the Atlantic Health Sciences Corporation, for X-rays, specialized tests or specialists' appointments. Petitcodiac Health Centre provides a room for other health care professionals to see their clients.
Petitcodiac Health Centre's ongoing commitment and concern highlights the promotion of health and wellness and patients' needs, and the centre is an entry point into the health care system. It is the centre's mission to provide quality preventative, primary and continuous health care in a manner that demonstrates caring and respect for the population they serve.
The clinic first opened its doors in 1980 in the Village of Petitcodiac, 40 kilometers from Moncton and around 30 kilometers from Sussex, and is located at 32 Railway Avenue off highway 106.
Petitcodiac Health Centre makes every effort to achieve their mission through their values of respect, compassion and caring, integrity, honesty, fairness, trust and quality.
