The “urban” centre of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife is home to Stanton Territorial Hospital and two Primary Health Care Clinics. The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority (NTHSSA) - Yellowknife Region provides community health, primary health care and social service programs to the people of Yellowknife, N’Dilo, Dettah, Lutsel K'e, and Fort Resolution.
The city is a place of beautiful contrasts. On the north shore of Great Slave Lake, modern high-rise towers overlook the rustic heritage buildings of Yellowknife's not-so-distant frontier past. A modern metropolis meets a vast wilderness. The brilliance of summer's midnight sun gives way to winter's dazzling display of the aurora borealis.
