History

Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital was built to serve the easternmost area of coastal Halifax County from East Ship Harbour to Ecum Secum. It was proposed by a group of community members, led by Dr. Duncan MacMillan. [2] The architect was Leslie R. Fairn. [2] Construction started in 1947 and the hospital was opened on May 24, 1949. [3] It cost $170,000. $34,000 was contributed by the provincial and federal governments, and the remaining $136,000 came from community donations. [4] The Canadian Red Cross ran the hospital until July 15, 1954. [4]

In 1983, a new wing was added to the hospital. The old wing was converted to a nursing home, named Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home. [5] In 2011, Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home was demolished and replaced by Harbourview Lodge.
