Fanny Allen Hospital, Offices of the Superior/Administrator and Bursar. Board minutes, 1984-1995 | Saint Michael's College Archives & Special Collections

Scope and Contents: This subseries contains the minutes of meetings of various boards that governed the Fanny Allen Hospital, from 1894 to 1995 (not inclusive). The boards include the Board of Directors or Trustees, Medical Staff Board, Department Heads, and other committee meetings. Unlike RHSJ institutions in Canada, the Fanny Allen Hospital was governed from the beginning by a Board that consisted of Sisters with members of the clergy and lay people. As set out in the articles of association and the by-laws, the Bishop of Burlington acted as the President of the board. Thomas Rotunda became the first lay chairperson of the Board in 1966. The minutes of the annual and special meetings of the board detail proposed plans of actions, elections and removal of members from the Board; detailed financial accounts of revenues and expenditures; amendments to the by-laws and structure of the organization, and other resolutions. Included with the minutes are copies of presentations made to the Board: Board retreat documents, information on board members as well as a Board of Directors orientation manual
