The Ste. Rose Hospital is celebrating 80 years in the community today.
The day will start with a mass at the Ste. Rose De Lima Church at 11 am. Then the festivities move over to the Ste. Rose Community Hall for a formal program.
The formal program will include an unveiling of a plaque that celebrates the 80th anniversary, a video presentation, and displays of medical equipment that used to be in the hospital.
Michelle Quennelle, the Executive Director of the Ste. Rose Health Centre says the hospital means a lot to the community.
“The hospital here has been a pillar in the Ste. Rose community, serving not only the community of Ste. Rose, but all of the surrounding areas including several First Nations communities to the East and North of Ste. Rose,” said Quennelle “It has been here for the community when there has been a need for health care. It is just so important to this community here in Ste. Rose.”
The formal event at the Community Hall starts at 1:30 pm.
