Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH) started construction in 1951 and opened doors March 11, 1953.

Oliver’s St. Martin’s Hospital would be newer than the Haven Hill location of Penticton’s older Hospital built in 1916.

My mother was born in 1916 and says she was delivered in the Dr. RB White clinic, a small hospital (house/building) just to the north of the “brand new” one at Haven Hill. Think you could write a book on the history of medicine in the South Okanagan.

Newer too would be Summerland Hospital built around 1940? Seen below.
