History

Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital was built to serve the easternmost area of coastal Halifax County running from East Ship Harbour to Ecum Secum. It was proposed by a group of community members, lead by Dr. Duncan MacMillan. The architect was Leslie R. Fairn. Construction started in 1947 and the hospital was opened on May 24, 1949. It cost $170,000. $34,000 was contributed by the provincial and federal governments, and the remaining $136,000 came from community donations. The Canadian Red Cross ran the hospital until July 15, 1954.

In 1983, a new wing was added to the hospital. The old wing was converted to a nursing home, named Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home. In 2011, Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home was torn down and replaced by Harbourview Lodge.
