The Moncton Hospital is the largest facility managed by South-East Regional Health Authority. The Moncton Hospital is one of two trauma centres in New Brunswick. With the addition of the Irving Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, the hospital continues to be amongst Canada's leading centres for neurosurgery and neurology.

The Moncton Hospital is known for specialty services in critical care that include: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; Pediatric Intensive Care Unit; Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit; Coronary Intensive Care Unit; Provincial Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit; Burn Unit; and the city's only ambulance service. Each year more than 60,000 people visit The Moncton Hospital's emergency room, 15,000 of whom are admitted. One in five patients who comes to The Moncton Hospital is from outside Region 1 South-East. The Moncton Hospital continues to be recognized regionally, provincially and nationally as a leader in health delivery. Some achievements include: Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation for 2002, full accreditation status (SERHA).

South-East Regional Health Authority continues to set new standards in health care by providing Interventional Radiology at The Moncton Hospital, a service that allows many disorders to be treated without surgery. The minimally invasive procedures are often done on an outpatient basis. Imaging techniques, such as X-rays and ultrasound, are used to guide small tools to the site of a problem through pathways in the skin or blood vessels.
