Regina's Early Hospitals 
The first hospital was opened in the new community of Regina in 1889 by Mrs. M. E. Truesdell 
in a two-story house located at McIntyre and Eleventh Avenue.  In 1896 a second facility 
was opened, this "Cottage Hospital" was formally a private home located on Hamilton 
Street and 13th Avenue.  

Within its first two years of operation the Cottage Hospital could no longer meet the 
growing needs of the community, and a new building was erected with support from the 
Victorian Order of Nurses.
