Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA)

Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) oversees all medical services and facilities in Ontario’s western James Bay and Hudson Bay area. The Cree people of the James/Hudson Bay lowlands refer to the waterways that make up their traditional territory as Weeneebayko.

We serve over 12,000 people through hospitals in Moose Factory, Fort Albany, and Attawapiskat, and a health centre in Moosonee. We also operate regional outpatient programs, as well as paramedicine services throughout the region, including the First Nations communities of Kashechewan and Peawanuck.
