In 1946, Governor General of Canada Lord Alexander opened The Charles Camsell tuberculosis hospital in Edmonton. This hospital, which was located in the Inglewood Area, was named after Charles Camsell (1876–1958), a a geologist and map-maker dedicated to the exploration of Canada's North.

Between 1945 and 1967 the hospital operated an occupational therapy program for aboriginal patients. In 1990, the hospital donated a collection of over 400 arts and crafts items made by patients in the program to the Royal Alberta Museum.

The hospital was closed in 1996. The hospital had been used as a prop for a 2004 film "Intern Academy", released as "Whitecoats" in Canada
