Administrative history
Archbishop Monaghan of Regina had asked in 1939 that the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul start a home for older and less financially stable people in Moose Jaw. The building that was requisitioned as St. Anthony’s home was a boy’s college that had been closed since 1931. St. Anthony’s home opened on September 1, 1939 and was home to 20 patients. Two days later, the Department of National Defense requisitioned the building and upgrades were made to its plumbing and electrical systems by the time it was returned to the Sisters of Providence in 1940. St. Anthony’s home reopened on April 11, 1940. A new wing that added 114 nursing beds was constructed in May 1968. During the 1980s and 1990s the administrations of Providence Hospital and St. Anthony’s Home became governed by one Executive Director and one governing board.
Eventually it was decided that St. Anthony’s home and Providence Hospital be merged into one new facility. On May 27, 1995 both St. Anthony’s home and Providence Hospital were closed. The new Providence Place opened on September 19, 1995.
