Join us for an evening of celebration as the Museum of Health Care launches its first mobile app titled “Transformation of the Kingston General Hospital, 1835-1914.” The app, which can be used as a walking tour, explores the history of hospital development in the 19th and early 20th centuries by charting the expansion of Kingston General Hospital. The evening will include a lecture by local architectural historian Dr. Jennifer McKendry, on selected architectural aspects at the hospital, as it responded to changing needs. Dr. Jane Errington of Queen’s University will deliver opening remarks.
