History
This history of the Carling property on which South Huron Hospital is built goes back to the beginning of Exeter The original house was built in 1854 When the estate was offered for sale in 1951 the South Huron Hospital Association purchased it and made the decision to incorporate the old home into the hospital plans
The Exeter Lions Club originally spearheaded the hospital project The first manager was H C Rivers and the first superintendent was Alice Claypole The hospital opened in 1953 with 30 staff members
A financial gift from Dr James Bell allowed for the construction of Nurses residence which housed a class of 14 RNAs Once the nursing program was closed this residence became the existing Exeter Professional Centre
In 1961 a new wing was built on the original house increasing the hospitals capacity to 52 beds Further expansion in 1966 added kitchen dining room and laundry facilities
In 1976 due to the deterioration of the 122year old house and because the hospital needed expansion the Board of Directors regretfully decided to demolish the original house and replace it with the modern facilities we continue to enjoy today
