After World War II, Wolseley and District wished to have a suitable lasting memorial to honor their dead. To do this, it was decided that a hospital would be built and it would be called the Wolseley Memorial Union Hospital. It exists as the result of a dream and hard work of many people.
On July 3, 1947, the Wolseley Memorial Union Hospital admitted its first patient, Mrs. Tom Fleming. The first baby born was a son to Mr. and Mrs. Duff Taylor.
In 1969 renovations to the tune of $23,500 made several major improvements to the hospital. All wards were moved to the top floor and lab, X-ray, emergency treatment room plus administrative facilities were relocated to the basement.
In 1979-80 a third extension added a total of 4,090 square feet to the two floors and again to the north. Due to inflated prices the cost this time was $330,000 over seven times the cost of the original structure. Outpatient services have become an important part of the hospital obligations now with as many as 400 outpatient being seen some months.
