History of St. Paul’s
The original St. Paul’s Hospital (1907)
was first located in a physician’s (Dr. John
H. C. Willoughby) house. The hospital was established due to an
outbreak of
typhoid, which occurred while the Canadian Pacific Railroad was
building a bridge in Saskatoon. The bridge was located downstream
from the town garbage dump (where the Bessborough now stands).
Contaminated water from the garbage dump eventually led to a breakout
of typhoid among the workers. Catholic priests cared for the sick
in the Catholic rectory, and in Dr. Willoughby’s house. A
group of Grey Nuns passing through Saskatoon on their travels,
stayed to help. A hospital was eventually opened in 1913. In 1963, the current
B-Wing of St. Paul’s Hospital was built and owned by the
Grey Nuns. A-Wing was added in 1989. St. Paul’s continues
to compassionately offer quality health care to residents of Saskatoon
and northern Saskatchewan.
In 1995, St. Paul’s Hospital entered an
affiliation agreement with Saskatoon District Health, now the Saskatoon
Health Region. In 1999, the Grey Nuns transferred ownership
of the hospital to the Saskatchewan Catholic Health Corporation.
