St. Joseph's Hospital (Sarnia, Ont.)
Entidade coletiva · 1944-1990

St. Joseph’s Hospital in Sarnia, Ontario, was born during the leadership term of Mother Constance Dunn. Sisters were invited by Mayor Hipple’s Sarnia City Council to set up a hospital in October 1942 but had to appeal to the federal government to release essential building materials so that the cornerstone was not laid until April 21, 1944. The new hospital was located at 290 North Russell Street.

The shortage of labour and materials meant that building progress was slow, but even though the hospital was not completed, one floor was opened on March 1, 1946, to meet the acute need for hospital beds. When the formal opening took place on October 18, 1946, The Honourable George A. Drew, Premier of Ontario cut the ribbon. Bishops J.T. Kidd and J.C. Cody (Coadjutor, Bishop), and priests from London and Detroit were present. Officials from other hospitals were also present. It was one of the first complete hospitals built after WW II. The million-dollar hospital with 150 beds and 30 bassinettes was funded completely by the Sisters along with a $10,000 grant from the City of Sarnia and the offer of freedom from municipal taxation. Unfortunately, the grant did not materialize due to technicalities of municipal law and council changes. Later, Mayor W. C. Nelson personally assumed and discharged that debt. Once the hospital opened, the units were filled with both Canadian and American patients from Port Huron and the state of Michigan.

There were 26 resident Sisters, who carried out active nursing roles and administrative duties, notably Sister Pascal Kenny who served as the first Administrator of the hospital. She had previous experience working in operating rooms and administration and was a member of the American College of Hospital Administrators and of the Board of Governors of the Ontario Hospital Association. In the early days, nursing, technical, and domestic staff were difficult to find. Many of the staff were mothers of families who could only work occasionally. Students from St. Joseph’s Training School of Nursing in London helped fill the nursing rota and were hired permanently after graduation. Because of the nursing shortage, innovations were made such as the central distribution of medicines and central surgical supply rooms.

By September 1948, St. Joseph’s Hospital was better able to provide for patients. A detoxification centre was opened, and many alcoholics were treated at the hospital. A clinic for cancer patients was also held regularly at the hospital, overseen by a team from the London Cancer Clinic, who did follow-up checks and therapy. The Auxiliary Radiotherapy and Follow-up Cancer Clinic, the first of its kind in Ontario, was opened in conjunction with the Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation.

On August 23, 1954, a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, donated by Dr. Carpeneto was installed in the grounds. In November 1954, a movie star, Pat O’Brien, was a patient, causing quite a stir among the staff. He liked the hospital very much. In the early days, there was a tennis court donated by staff and during the winter it was flooded for skating.

Due to the demands on hospital care with the burgeoning population of Sarnia, a seven-story, two-million-dollar addition was built in 1959, with the help of two government grants and a capital expense campaign by the people of Sarnia. The new wing added 150 beds and an expanded radiology department with the latest diagnostic equipment, and an enlarged laboratory. By this time, the number of Sisters on staff was 13.

In 1960, a 45-bed paediatric wing was added. The late 1960’s saw the establishment of an employee health program, the addition of a Social Service Department, and in 1969, a diagnostic radioisotope service. This time period also saw the establishment of District Health Councils. In 1966, 27,377 patients used the hospital, 857 babies were born, and there were 649 hospital employees, and 129 medical-dental staff. Over that year and the following year, the laboratory was renovated, and an intensive care unit opened.

In the 1970s, the hospital needed to update its facilities to meet accreditation standards, as well as to comply with the Sisters’ own standards of care. Because government funding was decreased, Sisters needed to do more independent fundraising. This decade also saw the Ministry of Health deciding to amalgamate hospitals and rationalize services in Lambton County. This became a political issue which meant many hours were spent on discussions with the District Health Council, the Mustard Report, and other tasks. St. Joseph’s Hospital also became embroiled in a confrontation with the Ministry of Health on contentious issues regarding health services, which conflicted with the Catholic faith.

Over this decade, renovations were conducted with an isotope department added, cafeteria improvements, and renovations to the nursery and obstetrics unit. When the pediatrics unit was transferred to Sarnia General Hospital in April 1976, the children’s wing closed and only obstetrics remained. From 1966-1986, 196,857 patients were treated.

Sister St. Elizabeth Wilkinson, Sister St. Paul Dietrich, Sister Georgina Ashwell, Sister Mary Elizabeth Campbell, and Sister Rita Heenan, also served as Administrators over these decades. From 1979 onwards, diminishing numbers of Sisters able to take on the responsibilities of hospital management led to the hiring of qualified laypersons, beginning with Frank Bagatto as the Executive Director in June 1979.

In the 1980s, quality assurance became a major focus, and new services such as the chiropody were added. There were further renovations and improvements, including to the intensive care unit, and the addition of the new Chronic Care Facility. The Sisters’ quarters were vacated, and social service and respiratory technology relocated in this area. An outpatient surgery unit was added, and improvements were made to the heating system, cafeteria, elevators, and nurse-call system. Some of these renovations were fully or partially funded by the Ministry of Health.

By 1982, there were only seven Sisters left on staff, with four in pastoral care. The last Sisters’ quarters were converted to use as an auditorium and health science library in 1983, with Sisters moving to a house at 430 London Road. During this year, palliative care was added. In November 1983, with the assistance of the Lambton District Health Council, a memorandum of understanding was signed by Sarnia General and St. Joseph’s Hospitals. Under this agreement, St. Joseph’s Hospital took over the family oriented acute care field with responsibility for chronically ill patients.

Further changes took place throughout the 1980s including the opening of an ambulatory care unit. Monies from community fundraising efforts as well as the Ministry of Health were secured for the building of a $21 million free standing hospital connected to the old hospital on two levels. This took place in three stages beginning with parking lots, demolition of apartment buildings on Norman Street, and construction of the main buildings. A sod turning ceremony was held on August 24, 1987. However, the hospital faced problems such as budgetary restraints placed on Ontario hospitals and a $1 million deficit, and without provincial help, cuts had to be made to services, particularly to part-time staff.

St. Joseph’s Hospital was officially re-opened as St. Joseph’s Health Centre on October 12, 1990, with facilities for rehabilitation, and continuing and palliative care. This was the amalgamation of St. Joseph’s Hospital, the Continuing Care Centre (formerly the Chronic Care Facility), Sarnia-Lambton Workers’ Treatment Centre, and a Day Hospital. The name change reflects a concomitant change in service provision and governance. St. Joseph’s Health Centre no longer served exclusively as an in-patient treatment centre for the critically ill. It also provided long-term care beds and outpatient treatment. Chief Maness of the local Anishinaabe community spoke at the opening. Patients were transferred to continuing care, mostly from Sarnia General Hospital, but also from acute care beds, homes, and outside agencies for a total of 142 patients by the end of 1990. The hospital that opened its main doors on Russell Street now opened its doors on Norman Street.

In August 1991, the entire hospital site was acquired from the Sisters by St. Joseph’s Health Services Association of Sarnia, Inc. In January 1995, the Sisters donated their residence at 430 London Road to St. Joseph Health Centre to be used as a hospice. Funding for its operation came from daily fees, donations, and St. Joseph’s Health Centre.

There was pressure from the Ministry of Health to rationalize services, which led to changes in service delivery such as moving neurology to Sarnia General Hospital and urology to St. Joseph’s Hospital. In 1995, a study, “Lambton’s Healthy Future” was undertaken by the Lambton District Health Council, the two Sarnia hospitals, and the Charlotte Eleanor Englehart Hospital in Petrolia which set the stage for changes in hospital care. In 1997, St. Joseph’s Hospital acute care services began being transferred to Sarnia General Hospital, and St. Joseph’s Hospital became the provider of support services such as Food Services, Housekeeping, Human Resources, and Materials Management. The emergency department at St. Joseph’s Hospital closed in June 1997.

On January 29, 1998, St. Joseph’s Health Centre joined in partnership with the Charlotte Eleanor Englehart Hospital and the Sarnia General Hospital by signing the Strategic Alliance Agreement. In April 2003, ownership of St. Joseph’s Health Centre was given to the Lambton County Hospital Group.

This company was replaced by the Lake Superior Corporation in 1904 following the bankruptcy of the Consolidated Lake Superior Company in 1903. In order to stabilize the Algoma Steel Corpration a Scheme of Arrangement was reached with bondholders in 1931 which created a new holding company, the Algoma Consolidated Corporation which separated the Algoma Steel Corporation from the Agoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Company.These steps proved insufficent and on June 20, 1932 the Algoma Steel Corporation was placed in receivorship. It was at this time that Sir James Dunn moved to consolidate his control of the Algoma Steel Corporation. In 1934 Sir James Dunn reorganized the Algoma Steel Corporation incorporating in Ontario the Algoma Steel Corporation (1934), referred to as the New Company, on December 12, 1934. The transfer of the Old Algoma Steel Corporation's assets was completed in 1935.

Entidade coletiva

The Algoma Central Railway Company, originally part of the industrial complex in Sault Ste. Marie developed by Francis H. Clergue, was incorporated by a Special Act of the Ontario Legislature in 1899. Its charter allowed the company to construct a railway between Sault Ste. Marie and the CPR with branches up to 12 miles in length; to operate telephone and telegraph lines; to operate steamships; to build and operate dock facilities and the right to secure grants and aid from government bodies. A Dominion Charter containing similar provisions was obtained the same year. By 1900. the first rail line between the Helen Mine and Michipicoten Harbour was completed and used for transporting iron ore. In 1901 the Algoma Central Railway Company changed its name to the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Company and its charter was amended to enable it to extend its line to James Bay. The company received cash and tax subsidies from all three levels of government and a land grant which included timber and mineral rights from the Provincial government for each mile of track completed. In return the company was to settle 1000 male immigrants each year along the line for ten years and was to establish a steamship line from Michipicoten Harbour to Sault Ste. Marie. The Algoma Central Steamship Line operated as a department of the company, running a fleet of lake boats which transported iron ore from Michipicoten Harbour to Sault Ste. Marie as well as carrying other freight. Following the crash of the Consolidated Lake Superior Company in 1902, the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Co.'s land grants which had been consigned to the Algoma Commercial Co.,were returned. In December 1914, the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Co. failed to meet interest payments on their first mortgage bonds and was thrown into receivorship. The Lake Superior Corporation had guaranteed the bonds but was unable to fulfill its obligations to the bondholders. On February 21, 1916 a Scheme of Arrangement was reached between the Lake Superior Corporation and the Bondholder's Committee. The Bondholder's Committee took control of the railway until the principle and interest of the bonds were paid in full. In 1931 a Scheme of Arrangement was reached which created the Algoma Consolidated Corporation. Through a series of transfers, the interests of the Algoma Steel Corporation and the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway were separated. The Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway remained in receivorship until 1959. In 1937 the railway dropped the idea of extending its line to Hudson Bay, however it was not until 1965 that the railway changed its name back to the Algoma Central Railway Company. In 1990 the Algoma Central Railway Company changed its name to the Algoma Central Corporation and the company was divided into three distinct operating groups, Algoma Central Marine, Algoma Central Railway & Algocen Mines and Algoma Central Properties. In 1994 the Algoma Central Corporation sold its facilities at Michipicoten Harbour. Then in 1995 a deal with Wisconsin Central Railway to purchase the rolling stock was reached with the road beds, rails, buildings, yards and land corridor being purchased by the province and leased to Wisconsin Central Railway. In 1997 the Algoma Central Corporation sold its considerable land holdings north of Sault Ste. Marie to the McDonald Investment Co. Inc. of Birmingham, Alabama and in 1998 moved its offices to St. Catharines to be in closer contact with its Great Lakes shipping fleet which is now the company's primary focus.
