History
Our History
History of Foundation
The foundation was formerly known as the St Elizabeths Hospital Foundation It was formed in 1986 to act as a sister and support organization to St Elizabeths Hospital
In 2008 the foundation changed its name to the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation The Foundation is administered by a volunteer board of directors which represents people throughout the district
History of Hospital
On May 14 1911 three sisters were welcomed into Muenster by the Benedictine Fathers who had just started a mission in the Humboldt Dioceses The only doctor in town was a Dr Barry who wanted them to immediately start caring for the sick The Abbot did not agree as the peoples expectations would not be met and that they would lose faith in them before construction would begin After much negotiating for a piece of land they finally purchased 50 acres from Mr Flory and also some land from the town which was very expensive
When the government gave approval for the construction of the new hospital its original plan was for a 20bed hospital In order to obtain the needed loan for the construction of the hospital twelve men had to put up collateral for the sisters The loan was obtained from a Benedictine Monastery in the US as no banking institution in Canada trusted them to repay the debt
On October 3 1912 the first St Elizabeths Hospital was blessed The present hospital was blessed in 1955 with 75 beds and in 1988 extended to 88 beds At the present time we are funded for 32 beds
In May 1999 the Franciscan Sisters of St Elizabeth who have always owned and operated the hospital realized their numbers were declining They approached the Catholic Health Corporation to bring their expertise to St Elizabeths Hospital On March 1 2000 along with the approval of the Central Plains Health District Board at that time transfer of ownership took place The official date was May 15 2000 The Catholic Health Corporation had agreed to operate it as a Catholic Institution maintaining the values and mission of St Elizabeths Hospital
On October 31 2007 St Elizabeths Hospital amalgamated with the Saskatoon Health Region The name was changed to the Humboldt District Hospital and became a publicly run facility The City of Humboldt is the sole member of the Foundation
