Branson Site and Urgent Care Centre
The Branson Site is located at Bathurst Street and Finch Avenue West (formerly North York Branson). It opened in 1957 as the Seventh-day Adventist Hospital and completed with donations from Atkinson Foundation, community contributions ($16,000) and Adventist members from Loma Linda, California. It is named for Mr. William Henry Branson, an Adventist missionary and President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. In 1997 it became part of the NYGH (as NYGH-Branson Division) after restructuring by the Conservative provincial government of Mike Harris.

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
