Join us for the first of the “Community Heritage Series” for a presentation on the history of regional health services by Larry Ferguson. It will be held at the Cultural Centre at on Thursday, May 23 at 5:00 PM. “A Century of Local Healthcare” begins with the history of Red Cross Outpost Hospitals in the 1920s, which later evolved into satellites of Peterborough (St. Joseph’s) Hospital. The story leads to the development of a county-wide corporation providing health services. Learn about local initiatives, various community challenges and collaborations, and the roles of individuals in advocating for startups and maintaining essential components of Haliburton within the provincial health system. Additionally, we will explore accounts from residents and archival collections from the Cultural Centre.
