Biographical history
Dr. Arnold Murray, having been born and raised in Calgary and received his medical degree from the University of Alberta, came to Grande Prairie in 1956 to join the practice of Dr. Lionel Dobson. These two doctors were later joined by Dr. Harold Payne, Dr. Colin Campbell-Fowler and Dr. Torquhil Matheson to form the Dobson Associate Medical Clinic, with a clinic and laboratory in the Peace Building on the corner of 101 St. and 101 Ave. As a physician, Dr. Murray was a member of the Medical Staff at the Grande Prairie Municipal Hospital. He was active in supporting proposals for the expansion of medical services of all kinds in the Grande Prairie area. In the early 1960s, with Rev. D. Frame of the United Church, he initiated the Family Services Association, which was designed to meet the practical and counseling needs for families under stress. He also promoted the creation of a private regional medical laboratory in the Peace Country, and participated in planning for the new Queen Elizabeth II H ospital. The clinic disassociated in 1972, and Dr. Murray later retired to the city of Calgary.
