to as Legacy Stanton, was beginning
to show its age. Named after Dr. Oli-
ver Stanton, the existing hospital has
evolved significantly since it opened
its doors in 1988. At 30 years since it
was constructed, not only did some
of the infrastructure need upgrading,
but it was no longer able to adequate-
ly serve the growing population in the
region.
On October 8th, 2015, the first shovel
dug into the ground for the new, state-
of-the-art Stanton Territorial Hospital,
the largest infrastructure project in
the NWT’s history. Far from Dr. Stan-
ton’s humble beginning, the hospital
will be a tertiary-level facility, the re-
sult of public and private sector col-
laboration to provide health care for
future generations of residents.

“The existing hospital health care service really meets our government’s
philosophy of that property becoming a real ‘campus of care’.”
