Taking Care

The permanent exhibition, Taking Care, pays homage to this pivotal institution and its profound impact on the community. Central to the narrative is the dedicated cohort of nurses who trained and worked tirelessly within these walls. From 1910 until its closure in 1955, the Galt Hospital not only provided essential medical services but also served as the nurturing ground for hundreds of aspiring nurses.
