History
The Fort Steele Hospital (Royal Diamond Jubilee Hospital) Board members met in April 1912 to request $2000 from the provincial government. In December 1912, a meeting was held to discuss the advisability of opening the hospital, fundraising, and election of 10 board members. R.L.T. Galbraith was the first chairman of the board. In February 1913, $5000 was requested from the provincial government. Disputes with Cranbrook arose about the viability of the hospital. Further help from the government in the form of a per capita grant was requested 13 July 1913. Dr. Maxwell was hired 13 February 1913, but resigned in August of the same year.
