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.

—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“Him, the vindictive rod of angry justice
Sent, quick and howling, to the centre headlong;
I, fed with judgements,in a fleshy tomb, am
Buried above ground.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
