EMHS is an extensive hospital and health network that strives to maintain and improve the health and wellbeing of the community within its catchment area. It also serves residents of regional WA requiring more complex care, as well as providing a number of statewide services.

The EMHS network collaborates to provide tertiary, secondary and specialist healthcare services. This includes emergency and critical care, state major trauma, elective and emergency surgery, general medical, mental health, inpatient and outpatient services, aged care, palliative care, rehabilitation, and women’s, children’s and neonates’ services.  

A range of community mental health, population health and Aboriginal health programs are also provided, along with expanding delivery of home hospital and virtual care services.
