History

Chelsea Hospital has a proud tradition of providing care to our community Established in 1927 by Sister Brewer the essential elements of providing reassurance respect individual care in an environment of healing remain paramount to us

In 1947 after the retiring Matron and then owner Sister Ballantyne was unable to find a purchaser for the hospital a supportive group of the Gisborne community formed a private company In 1959 the directors proposed setting up a Charitable Trust turning over individual interest to the wider community of Gisborne

Today Chelsea maintains its trust status and is registered under the Charities Commission This status ensures that all surplus funds are reinvested back into the hospital and community

Chelsea is extremely grateful for the historical and ongoing support it has received from the community and other trusts over the years
