Our History in Hinton

The Hinton Healthcare Foundation was established by the Hinton General Hospital District Board in 1994 under the name of The Hinton Hospital Foundation. This occurred at the time the Provincial Government was phasing out local Hospital Boards and turning over responsibility to Regional Authorities. Prior to this, planning by the Hospital Board for an extended-care facility had been frozen by the Government because of budget restraints. Planning in Hinton was at the stage where architectural drawings was the next step.

The goal was to keep the project moving forward, so that when the freeze was lifted with drawings on hand, we could immediately proceed to tender. This seemed like a daunting task, but thanks to the efforts of these two ladies this amount – and more – was raised.

Despite this effort, the Government refused to allow the architectural drawings to be commissioned. Fortunately, at the time the Hospital Board was disbanded the outgoing Board was able to retain the donated funds in the previously incorporated Hinton Healthcare Foundation.

Our community benefits in many ways by having health equipment and services that are easily accessible.

If we did not have these services offered in our community, residents would face a minimum 3-hour drive to an urban centre for care.

About Hinton

Hinton, Alberta is recognized for its established resource industries, quality of regional services and striking views of the Northern Alberta Rocky Mountains.

It is also the place we call home.

Our community is warm and welcoming. A place where we are all neighbours, joined by an appreciation of the opportunity and lifestyle our friendly mountain community provides us.

We are also active people: mountain biking in our renowned bike park and trails; strolling along the volunteer-built Beaver Boardwalk; participating on local sports teams and arts groups.

Our many festivals and events keep everyone busy throughout the summer months, and include highlights like the Wild Mountain Music Festival, Mary Reimer Rodeo, Beaver Bike Fest, MS Bike Tour, Winter Magic Festival, The Hinton Growler Fat Bike Race, Hinton Mud Run, and the Run in the Rockies half-marathon race to name a few.

Our town has a population of just less than 10,000 and welcomes numerous industry and tourism visitors each year. Albertans come to Hinton to enjoy the close proximity to Jasper National Park, William A. Switzer Provincial Park, and the historic coal branch area, as our location is central to many of the region’s best recreation spots.

Hinton offers diverse employment and career prospects, due to the mining, forestry, oil and gas activity in the area, as well as retail, tourism and service industry opportunities. Our residents also invest in our community with the many volunteer hours worked for a variety of non-profit organizations and service clubs.

Our town is home to numerous medical, dental and optometry clinics, physiotherapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Overall, it is the people that make Hinton a desirable place to live, work and raise a family. We support each other and share values such as community, respect and integrity. We all feel fortunate to be a part of a town like Hinton and do our part to ensure that our community remains the thriving, welcoming place it is today.
