The current St. Anthony's Hospital was constructed in 1928
at a cost of half a million dollars, despite an uncertain
economic climate. The growth of Northern Manitoba and
The Pas because of mining developments, construction of the
railroad, and the growth of the Port of Churchill all put
stress on the previous 50 bed hospital. The debt of the
hospital was taken over by the Sisters, being paid off through
patient fees for care at the hospital in a pre—public health
care era. The new 100 bed hospital was opened on May 24,
1929 by Bishop Charlebois.
