People of Peel Memorial: Denis MacDougall
Decades ago, Denis MacDougall made a personal commitment to his health—regular runs, nutritious food, and a focus on staying fit well into retirement. By all accounts, he was ready to enjoy his “third act” with energy to spare. But life had other plans.
In 1910, The Women's Institute of Brampton came together with an ambitious vision—to build the community's first hospital. That same community brought this vision to life. Passionate citizens and leaders mobilized around the idea, working together to build the small hospital that would eventually grow to impact millions of lives. One hundred years ago, Peel Memorial Hospital opened its doors for the first time, changing the landscape of health care in Brampton and surrounding communities forever.
When Peel Memorial Hospital opened for the very first time in 1925, it served a population of 3,000 people. Now, 100 years later, that community has grown to 1.3 million and counting. With more demand than ever on our health care system, it is time for us to step into an exciting new chapter of Peel Memorial’s history.
