A new building was eventually constructed in 1972-73 when the Red Cross Hospital almagamated with the Margaret Cochenour Hospital in Cochenour, which was established in the 1940s. This formed the present day facility we know today, the Margaret Cochenour Memorial Hospital. It remains the only hospital in the area.This hospital is a 28-bed, modern facility which serves a population of about 10,000 and employs 125, including seven physicians.
Physiotherapy, chemotherapy, ultrasound, chronic obstetrical, and pastoral care are among the many services offered by the hospital today.
The facility even features the use of tele-medicine, linking heart patients in Red Lake with specialists at the Ottawa Heart Institute for consultation and diagnosis.
