Wrinch Memorial Hospital
Biographical history
Wrinch Memorial Hospital, originally known as Hazelton Hospital, was founded by Dr. Horace Wrinch, a Methodist missionary from Ontario. Wrinch set up a temporary facility at Kispiox upon his arrival in 1900, but decided that Hazelton would be a more appropriate site for the hospital, which opened with twenty beds in 1904, sponsored by the Methodist Church. The hospital was renamed in Wrinch's honour upon his death in 1939; today it is sponsored by the United Church with funding from the provincial and federal governments. The original building was replaced in 1931, and the current structure was built in 1977.
