History

Saskatoon City Hospital 1909 the first municipal hospital in Western Canada and the second in Canada was originally located on 6th Avenue North Soon after plans were made to build a larger hospital on Queen Street Demand for hospital beds continued to grow and by 1927 the West Wing accommodated 122 beds In 1930 an East Wing with 150 beds was constructed A nurses residence was also built adjacent to the hospital

As the City of Saskatoon grew so too did the hospital In 1950 three stories were added to the nurses residence called the centre block and in 1958 this became the main hospital with 330 permanent beds and capacity though crowded for 675 beds The hospital underwent many other renovations and additions in its 75 year plus history

Eventually however with changing needs of residents and a need to upgrade the building and equipment the present Saskatoon City Hospital was built and officially opened on October 16 1993 with patients moving in on December 13 1993
