The Moose Jaw Co-Ordinating War Services Council was established in 1940. Officers were J.W.A. Poulton, chairman, J.R. Castle, treasurer, and H.C. Morgan, secretary. Records and scrapbooks were kept by Mrs. Olive (Philip H.) West, chairman of the Parcel and Records Committee.
The Council operated the War Services Club for all branches of the armed forces. It was located in the Bank of Montreal Building on Main Street and Fairford Street East. It was established to provide recreation and a social centre for all servicemen, Canadian and those from overseas, who were being trained at the Service Flying Training Schools (S.F.T.S.) in Moose Jaw and area from 1940 to 1944. Through contacting the Club, citizens hosted servicemen for dinners and entertainment on Sundays and holidays.
The Moose Jaw War Service Auxiliary and the Moose Jaw War Services Council Parcel and Records Committee had nearly 2500 names on its mailing list for regular parcel service. They collected goods and money for parcels to be sent to Canadian troops. Much was directed through the Red Cross. Later, the Welfare Committee of the Council would meet “hospital” trains and supply the soldiers with some comforts.
Following the closure of the numerous training camps and the departure of many servicemen, the facility in the Bank of Montreal Building was closed. The Council continued to function, particularly the committees in charge of records, parcels, welfare, and welcoming troops home. The last reports were issued in 1946.

The Regina Grey Nuns' Hospital School of Nursing was founded by Sister Cécilia Wagner in 1907, and four students graduated two years later. For many years, nursing education was taught as a three-year program of study, wherein theory was followed by lengthy practical experience, and students provided much of the nursing care on the wards. In 1939, the first Basic Science Instructor was hired for the School, and a Clinical Instructor and Educational Director were added in 1945 and 1949 respectively. The Medical Staff and Nursing Faculty Joint Committee was initiated in 1955, and the Advisory Committee to the School was organised in 1956. In 1962, an experimental education program was initiated by Sister T. Castonguay, Director of the School of Nursing, and accepted by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association and Department of Public Health. For the first time in Saskatchewan, a shortened, two-year program was introduced. In 1966, the Nursing Education Act transferred the education of diploma nurses from the jurisdiction of the Department of Health to the Department of Education, leading to the establishment of central nursing education programs in Regina and Saskatoon, and the phasing out of hospital-based schools of nursing in the province. The last graduates of the School of Nursing completed their training on 31 August 1973 and the School of Nursing was closed.

The Regina District Health Board was established by an order-in-council, effective 14 February 1992, to develop a plan for the integration of health services within the Regina Health District (est. 1993). Comprised of five appointed members, the Board assumed responsibility for the Regina General Hospital, South Saskatchewan Hospital Centre (Plains Health Centre and Pasqua Hospital) and Wascana Rehabilitation Centre. During the decade that the Regina District Health Board existed, the responsibilities of the District grew to encompass Home Care, Emergency Medical Services, Public Health, Mental Health, the Hearing Aid Plan, and Alcohol and Drug Services. Services were offered through five community health centres, a rehabilitation centre, ten affiliated long-term care facilities, and two hospitals to deliver specialised acute care services. Board representation also grew to include both elected and appointed members representing Regina and rural wards. On 1 August 2002, the Regina District Health Board ceased to exist, as the District was amalgamated with the Touchwood Qu'Appelle and Pipestone health districts to form a larger organisation. Known initially as the Regional Health Authority #4, this governing body was officially named the Regina Qu'Appelle Regional Health Authority on 26 November 2002. The following individuals served as Chairperson of the Regina District Health Board: John R. Grossman (1992-1993), Dan de Vlieger (1993-1995), Brian Rourke (interim Chair, 1995-1996), Garf Stevenson (1996-[1999 or 2001]), and Anita Bergman ([1999 or 2001]-2002).

During the 1950s and 1960s, nurses of Saskatchewan came to believe that collective bargaining was necessary to improve working conditions, and to keep pace with salaries and benefits of organised hospital service workers and other professions. From 1966 to 1973, the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association – the nurses' professional licensing body – negotiated contracts on behalf of local Staff Nurses' Associations formed within hospitals. Following a legal challenge in 1973, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that SRNA could not be certified as a trade union. Rather than disband, the nurses formed the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) on 19 January 1974. SUN Local 106 was established to represent all registered nurses, graduate nurses and other allied personnel employed by the Regina General Hospital. in 1974 approximately 2400 Saskatchewan nurses from 78 hospitals went on strike – the first province-wide strike by nurses in Canada. SUN is affiliated with the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour (1996) and the Canadian Labour Congress (1997). It is a founding member of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (1981).
