Upper River Valley Hospital (French: Hôpital du Haut de la Vallée) is a Canadian hospital located in Waterville, New Brunswick.

Operated by Horizon Health Network, the Upper River Valley Hospital opened November 18, 2007, replacing the Carleton Memorial Hospital in Woodstock, NB and the Northern Carleton Hospital in Bath, NB.^{[1] [2]}

The hospital's location was influenced by the nearby construction of a new 4-lane expressway alignment for Route 2. Many residents of Carleton County were upset with the closing of their old hospitals and the relocation of health care services to Waterville.^[3]
