The original St Pauls Hospital 1907 was first located in a physicians 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 Willoughbys 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 BWing of St Pauls Hospital was built and owned by the Grey Nuns AWing was added in 1989 St Pauls continues to compassionately offer quality health care to residents of Saskatoon and northern Saskatchewan
