Stevenson Memorial Hospital, located in Alliston, Ontario, was established in 1928. The hospital was founded through a generous donation by T.P. Loblaw, a notable figure from the Loblaws grocery chain, as a tribute to his grandparents, William and Elizabeth Stevenson. Over the decades, the hospital has grown and adapted to meet the healthcare needs of its community. The hospital's current building was constructed in 1964. Originally designed to accommodate 7,000 emergency visits annually, it now handles almost 40,000 visits each year. This significant increase has spurred a major redevelopment project to expand and modernize the hospital facilities. The redevelopment will triple the hospital's square footage, revitalizing the Emergency Department, adding new inpatient rooms, and enhancing surgical suites and diagnostic imaging capabilities.
