Edmonton Hospital Board
AR-MS-12 · Pessoa coletiva · 1913 - [19--?]

The Edmonton Hospital Board was formed in 1913 to amalgamate the operations of three city hospitals- the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Strathcona General Hospital and the Isolation Hospital. Edmonton's first hospital was established in 1886 by Canon Newton and his sister, a nurse, at the Hermitage. In 1895 the Edmonton General Hospital was opened by the Soeurs de la Charité de Montréal (Grey Nuns). Edmonton Public Hospital was organized in 1899, partly due to a dispute between the administrators of the General Hospital and some Edmonton physicians. It was incorporated by a North-west Territories ordinance (ch. 43) and opened in 1900. Its charter was confirmed by an Alberta act in 1906, which changed the name to the City Hospital. It was replaced by the Royal Alexandra Hospital, which was built beginning in 1910. After its amalgamation under the Edmonton Hospital Board, possibly the result of financial irregularities discovered earlier in 1913, the provincially chartered organization became the Royal Alexandra Hospital Association, which supported the Edmonton Hospital Board until ca. 1926. The Strathcona General Hospital Board was established under a by-law (no. 433) of the then City of Strathcona in 1911, continued by an Edmonton by-law (no. 400) after the amalgamation of the cities of Edmonton and Strathcona. After the 1913 amalgamation, it continued until ca. 1915 as a hospital committee. There is no information in the fonds about the management of the Isolation Hospital prior to the creation of a hospital committee under the Edmonton Hospital Board.
