Biographical history
The Ministry of Health was established in 1976 as the successor to the Dept. of Health (OIC 3199/76). The ministry was responsible for managing public health in the province. In 1977, the department was organized into three major programs for mental health, public health and special health programs. After 1980, the department had three programs: Preventive Services, Direct Community Care Services, and Hospital Programs. Two years later the names of the programs changed to: Community Care, Long Term Care, and Hospital Programs. In 1984 the department’s two programs were Preventive and Community Care Services and Institutional Services. These changed to Hospital Programs, Continuing Care Services, and Emergency Health Services in 1988. Responsibility for seniors was added to the Ministry of Health in 1989, and in 1996 the ministry was renamed Ministry of Health and Ministry Responsible for Seniors (OIC 203/96).
In 2001, the functions of the ministry were divided between two new ministries: the Ministry of Health Services and the Ministry of Health Planning.

Scope and content
The series consists of meeting minutes, agendas, correspondence, expenditure lists, reports, news releases, guidelines and statistics created by East Kootenay Health Unit 1 between 1978 and 1982. The Infant Development program was established in 1979 to provide home-based services for developmentally delayed infants up to the age of 3. The series consists of records documenting the organization and functions of committees within the Development program and includes records from the program’s nascent years. By extension, these records also document the establishment of the Development program itself. Also included in the series are short consultant reports and newsletter-style annual reports. The series also includes early news releases and briefs regarding the program..
Records in this series are arranged by committee. The series is covered by ARCS 200-20 (Committee files).
