Emergency Dept, Lady Minto Hospital

Lady Minto Hospital in Cochrane, Ontario, is a 33-bed facility providing healthcare services to neighboring communities. Originally established in 1912 as the Cochrane General Hospital and officially opened in 1916, it underwent a name change in 1915 to Lady Minto Hospital to secure funding from the Victorian Order of Nurses. This historical establishment, adorned with a placard from 1915, reflects the philanthropic efforts of Lady Minto in promoting healthcare accessibility in rural Canada. In response to the closure of the local nursing home in the mid-90s, the Hospital Board expanded its services to include a 33-bed long-term care unit, known as Villa Minto, which opened its doors in 1998. Today, Lady Minto Hospital offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services, including in-patient care, emergency services, general surgery, and complex continuing care. With 25 acute beds, 8 continuing care beds, and 37 long-term care beds, the hospital remains a vital healthcare provider in the region.
