Georgetown District Memorial Hospital

• 1960, I think. My sister was born in Guelph in 60.
  •  Georgetown Hospital opened in 1961 Harry .
    
•  Aww the great memories I have of working there as a candystriper :)
  
  • Pretty sure my older sister did too, late 60s.
    
  •  you are so right Harry. I worked many shifts with Isabel.

•  Great picture! That's a1958 Chevy to the left, top right a 1955 Pontiac! The truck a 1960 Mercury? I'm guessing on that one!
• Wow that’s crazy❤️❤️❤️ (hehe I was born in that hospital lol)
  
•  3 of my 4 kids were born there -- in '71, '73, and '75. Dr. Frank Richards was my doctor for all three. What a great doctor and what a wonderful hospital. Staff was amazing!! (That's back when you were in the hospital for a week after having a baby!!!)
•  That is a great picture. If my mom waited for a few years I could have been born there. My granddaughter was though if that counts.
• Does anyone remember Dr. Macintosh? (I’m pretty sure he worked in Georgetown right?)
  
• You bet he did.
  
  •  He was my doctor when I had my heart operation in ‘83, such an amazing soul. I was 4 years old and thanks to him I recall the experience in a happy light, not at all scary. The smell of his office is burned into my mind, I remember it like it was yesterday. ❤️❤️❤️

  • he was the dr when I was born
  • Dr. Macintosh was our family doctor & I remember he would do house calls. He was great
  • My dad worked at Abitibi Paper Mill and they had a part of their pay cheques go to the hospital every week . Dr. MacIntosh was the best, if you didn't hurt when you went in, you hurt when you come out....... lol Dr. Mac delivered me in Jan 1960 in St Joseph's in Guelph as G'town Hospital wasn't ready. We here in Georgetown have been very fortunate over the years.
