There is a regional hospital in Gros-Morne (the Alma Mater Hospital), that consists of five small, single-story, cinder block buildings with open windows and tin roofs. The local Catholic Church operates the hospital as well as a clinic (dispensaire) in each of the eight districts. Two part-time physicians and a small number of poorly trained community health aides attend to the 127,000 inhabitants of greater Gros-Morne.
