Bio/Historical Note: Dr. William (Bill) Bingham earned his MD at the University of Saskatchewan (1974), and then completed his Neonatology Fellowship at the University of Hawaii. For some reason, he left Hawaii and returned to Saskatoon in 1980 to join Drs. Sankaran and Ninan in the NICU at University Hospital. Dr. Bingham helped create and maintain the first PICU. He continued ward coverage with the residents, and was also program director for a time. Dr. Bingham was active in published research. Subsequently, he took on the job of Postgraduate Dean in the College of Medicine during which time he faced the challenge of the resident strike. Dr. Bingham then went on to become head of the Department of Pediatrics. In 2019 he realized his dream of a hospital dedicated to only children and their mothers, incorporated as the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan. Dr. Bingham retired in June 2021.
