GMC Haldwani has two hospitals associated with it - Dr. Susheela Tiwari Memorial Hospital and SRM Cancer Hospital & Research Center, - to educate its medical students and for continuously upgrading the health standards of the state of Uttarakhand.

Dr. Susheela Tiwari Memorial Hospital became functional on 26 December 1995, but was formally inaugurated on 28 July 1996. The hospital is continuously being expanded and upgraded to keep pace with both the ever-increasing dependence of the local and regional populace on its services as well as to keep in tandem with the advancements in the medical field. Currently, it has a capacity of 600 beds.

Swami Rama Cancer Hospital and Research Center is functional under Government Medical College, Haldwani. It was envisioned and initiated as a State of Art Cancer Center and was formally inaugurated on 22 February 2010. There are plans to upgrade this centre to the status of the Uttarakhand State Cancer Institute. However, currently the only functional department in the Swami Rama Cancer Hospital happens to be the department of radiotherapy. The lack of oncological disciplines of medical oncology, surgical oncology, haematological oncology, gynaecological oncology and pediatric oncology is acutely affecting the population of the state at present.
