History
The hospital, which was founded by Lady Lucy Hartstonge, was built the site of an old barracks and opened as the Fever Hospital of Saint John in 1781.[2] The Sisters of the Little Company of Mary took over the management of the hospital in 1888.[3] The emergency department was replaced by a minor injuries unit in 2013.[4]
