History
Mater Misericordiae Hospital
History 01 Sisters
The need for a private hospital in Dunedin became apparent in the late 1920s Local doctors indicated their interest and public demand was assured Bishop Whyte heeded their appeal and recognised the advantages of having a Catholic hospital in the city A request was therefore made to the Sisters of Mercy to open such a facility and in 1930 they committed themselves to the project and began fund raising
In 1932 Sisters M Bertrand Carroll and Vianney Phelan left for Mater Misericordiae Hospital in Brisbane to undertake their nursing training and postregistration experience in hospital management
History 02 HomeMeanwhile back in Dunedin the Sisters purchased the home of Mr P Halsted at 19 Royal Terrace They took possession on 1st November 1935 and the house was remodeled to accommodate twentyfour beds and one operating theatre
The new Mater Misericordiae Hospital was blessed on 9th February 1936 and the first patient was admitted on 16th July 1936 The building next to the hospital Avenal Flats at 25 Royal Terrace was purchased in 1936 and became the convent and nurses home This hospital was closed in 1969 with the transfer to the current site in Maori Hill
