History<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sisters of St. Joseph founded St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto in 1892, using an old baptist church, in order to care for poor people living in the south end of Toronto. It was originally opened with a 26 bed capacity staffed by six doctors and four nurses, St. Michael’s quickly expanded to include two large wards and an emergency room. Receiving students as early as 1894, St. Michael’s officially affiliated with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine in 1920, a partnership that continues to this day.<\/p>\n
