The Plains Health Centre

The Plains Health Centre was opened in 1974 under the 
South Saskatchewan Hospital Centre Act.  The Centre was 
built to provide specialty services to Regina hospitals and 
to train students of the University of Saskatchewan's College 
of Medicine.  The facility operated as a hospital serving 
Regina and the people of Southern Saskatchewan until 
November 1998.  In 1998 the hospital was formally closed,
 with its services consolidated to two of Regina's more 
mature hospitals.  These were the Pasqua Hospital and 
The Regina General Hospital both built and opened in the
early 1900's.

On March 31, 1998, Saskatchewan's Minister of
Post-Secondary Education and Skills Training, Joanne 
Crawford announced that the former health centre would 
continue to serve the people of Regina, and Saskatchewan, 
through its conversion to a Provincial Training Centre - The 
Wascana Campus of Saskatchewan's Institute for Applied 
Technology (SIAST).
