In 1914 the ratio of doctors to population in Alberta was 1:999 people; residents were fortunate to have Dr. Oatway serving Stony Plain at this time. This mural depicts the residents of the Meridian Housing Foundation’s memories of healthcare during their youth. Healthcare in those times included medicine peddlers, home-made remedies, and home doctor visits.
