History
John Neil Hospital was located in Cold Lake, Alberta. Woman's Missionary Society (WMS) medical work was first begun by the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1921, when a building was rented for hospital use and church services. In 1925 the medical work at Cold Lake became the responsibility of the WMS of The United Church of Canada. John Neil Hospital was opened in July 1926 through church and community funding by the WMS. It was a 10-bed hospital and named after a former minister of Westminster-Central Church in Toronto which donated much of the funds for the building. A new, larger hospital was opened on July 8, 1958.
