Fort William Sanatorium was a tuberculosis hospital or sanatorium in Fort William, Ontario, today part of the city of Thunder Bay. It opened in 1935 as a tuberculosis treatment centre for settlers, adding 20 government-funded beds for Indigenous patients in 1941. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Fort William was partially used as a provincial school from 1944 on to 1971, and a day school for the local Indigenous population between 1950 and 1953. [5] It is unclear whether the hospital was fully racially segregated at any point during its operation, or whether settler and Indigenous patients were treated in different wings or areas of the hospital at the same time.
It later provided treatment for people with other disorders, including physical and mental handicaps. [6]

[8] The Northwestern Regional Centre was a residential facility for children and adults with an intellectual disability that operated from the 1960s until it was closed in 1994. [9]
Walter P. Hogarth Memorial Hospital was amalgamated with Westmount Hospital in 1980 as Hogarth-Westmount Hospital. In 2000, Hogarth-Westmount Hospital became part of St. Joseph's Care Group, a Roman Catholic nonprofit health care corporation. [2] [10]

The Indian hospitals were racially segregated hospitals, originally serving as tuberculosis sanatoria but later operating as general hospitals for indigenous peoples in Canada which operated during the 20th century. The hospitals were originally used to isolate Indigenous tuberculosis patients from the general population because of a fear among health officials that "Indian TB" posed a danger to the non-indigenous population. Many of these hospitals were located on Indian reserves, and might also be called reserve hospitals, while others were in nearby towns.
The town of Colorado Springs, Colorado, played an important role in the history of tuberculosis in the era before antituberculosis drugs and vaccines. Tuberculosis management before this era was difficult and often of limited effect. In the 19th century, a movement for tuberculosis treatment in hospital-like facilities called sanatoriums became prominent, especially in Europe and North America. Thus people sought tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs because of its dry climate and fresh mountain air. Some people stayed in boarding houses, while others sought the hospital-like facilities of sanatoriums. In the 1880s and 1890s, it is estimated that one-third of the people living in Colorado Springs had tuberculosis. The number of sanatoriums and hospitals increased into the twentieth century. During World War II, medicines were developed that successfully treated tuberculosis and by the late 1940s specialized tuberculosis treatment facilities were no longer needed.
