Biographical history
The history of the Vancouver General Hospital originates with the establishment of a CPR tent hospital in 1886, shortly after which a nine-bed wooden structure was erected at a point north of Powell St., between Hawkes and Heatley Avenues. In September 1886, the city's Board of Health, with the agreement of the CPR, took over administration of the building and it became the first City Hospital. In 1888, a new thirty-five bed City Hospital was built on Beatty St., south of Pender facing Cambie St., financed jointly by the province and the city. In 1902, the Vancouver General Hospital was incorporated and in 1906 the hospital moved to its present site.
