Sudbury photographer Stanley Koren took this picture of “the old General Hospital” recently. “The old General had just been closed up and I just thought the light looked just right for a formal portrait,” he wrote in an e-mail to Northern Life.
“I took my very first breath of life there.” The Sisters of St. Joseph of Sault Ste. Marie purchased property in 1944 to build the Sudbury General Hospital.
The hospital was completed in 1950 and went on to provide a full range of hospital-based services, eventually becoming the regional referral centre for trauma care and surgical services. The site officially closed at the end of March.
