About This Facility
In January of 1922, by invitation from Rev. Francis Palm, parish priest, the Franciscan Sisters of St. Elizabeth of Humboldt came to Macklin to establish a hospital responding to the needs of a vibrant and growing railway community. By May of the same year a temporary, 15 bed, home hospital was up and running.
Over the next few years the hospital admissions continued to grow and a new wing was added in 1928 bringing bed capacity up to 45. A nursing school opened bringing students to fill the growing need for nurses. In 1996 the hospital was replaced by a new facility with 22 long-term care beds, two observation beds, a respite bed, palliative care unit, emergency, X-ray and medical lab services.
On Wednesday, July 30, 2014 The Sisters of St. Elizabeth transferred its ownership, sponsorship and governance of St. Joseph’s Integrated Health Center to The Catholic Health Ministry of Saskatchewan.
Today, St. Joseph’s Integrated Health Centre in Macklin, Saskatchewan is operated by Emmanuel Care under the leadership and sponsorship of the Catholic Bishops of Saskatchewan and works in partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Authority as an affiliate.
There are 22 long term care beds and 1 respite bed.
