History

The hospital has its origins in the Sault Ste. Marie General Hospital founded by the Grey Sisters of the Cross in 1898 and the Plummer Memorial Public Hospital founded by the Algoma Benevolent Hospital Association in 1917. These two institutions amalgamated in 2002.[1] A new hospital, replaced the two previous facilities, was designed by Stantec and built by a joint venture of Carillion and EllisDon and completed in 2010.[2] The new hospital has 289 beds and provides various services including acute care, general rehabilitation, mental health and cancer radiation therapy.[3] It has 1,652 employees.[4]

gollark: I think the issue is just that most people have different preferences (favouring the newer aesthetics, higher-priced devices, not caring much about removable batteries), and phone companies mostly deliver stuff for them.
gollark: But not "modular" in the sense people were hyped about where the phone would be a bunch of modules you could swap out.
gollark: Those are "modular" in the sense that you can swap parts, at least, which is nice.
gollark: I'm aware, those aren't "modular" in the common sense.
