Calvary Adelaide Hospital

Calvary Adelaide Hospital Founded in 1885 by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, Calvary is a charitable, not-for-profit, Catholic health care organisation.

Calvary has been caring for South Australians since 1900, and in early 2020, opened the new Calvary Adelaide Hospital, the largest private hospital in the state. Our mission is to provide quality, compassionate health care to the most vulnerable, including those reaching the end of their life. With over 18,000 staff and volunteers, we have a national network of 14 Public and Private Hospitals, 72 Residential Care and Retirement Communities and 19 Community Care service centres.

Celebrating Perioperative Nurses Week with our outstanding team.

These are the faces that greet and ready patients for surgery - who care for them during and after their procedure, and who ensure all the instruments and equipment are clean, sterile and ready to go.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our patients safe and well cared for. Your genuine care, professionalism and expertise are second to none, and we value each and every one of you!

Today on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, at the eleventh hour, we honour the memory of those who died or who were injured in wars and armed conflicts.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

Staff were on hand yesterday at the TAFE SA Careers Week Expo, where they connected with a diverse group of attendees including school leavers, new migrants, individuals with English as a second language, and those seeking to re-enter the workforce or progress their careers.

Lara and Bree showcased the wide range of employment opportunities available across housekeeping, kitchen, cleaning, nursing, and allied health assistance roles. The event was vibrant and engaging, with an estimated 500 attendees throughout the day, providing an excellent platform to promote Calvary and the rewarding career pathways we offer.

Celebrations to mark Calvary’s 125 years in South Australia culminated in a spectacular Gala Ball on the weekend, where staff, specialists, volunteers, sponsors and special guests came together to acknowledge this remarkable ‘quasquicentennial’ milestone.

The joy-filled evening, with beautiful MC Lauren from Adelady, featured a video which showcased Calvary’s rich history along with the variety of services now offered across SA, including our hospitals, home care, aged, and residential care. It highlighted the people within Calvary who continue the legacy of care that has been passed from the Sisters who arrived in Adelaide from Sydney in 1900, to carry on the work of Mary Potter here today.

As part of the celebrations, fundraising efforts via a silent auction and wine wall were well supported, and it is our great pleasure to announce that funds raised on the evening exceeded $20,000. These have gone directly to the The Mary Potter Foundation Inc which supports the Mary Potter Hospice in its mission to provide loving, dignified, and meaningful end-of-life care for patients and their families.

The sold-out event would not have been possible without our sponsors which included HPS, Schiavello, and Wilhelm – along with wine sponsor Sorby Adams Wines. We thank them all sincerely for their generosity and support.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a truly special celebration, and we look forward to continuing our mission of care for our community into the future.

The insights of patients, family members, and carers, are invaluable as they help us deliver patient-centred care, and contribute to our mission of excellence in healthcare. We are currently looking for more people to become Consumer Representatives; people who can make a real impact on the way we care for our community.

Judy, one of our Consumer Representatives says “The staff bounce things off me and ask me to get involved in decision making and so forth. And so, I really feel as if I am contributing. It's been a fantastic role and I really, really enjoy it.”

From physiotherapists to occupational therapists, dietitians, speech pathologists, social workers and many others – the work of our team often happens behind the scenes, but its impact on the lives of the individuals and the families we care for on a daily basis is profound.

These allied health professionals are critical to our mission of delivering holistic, high quality healthcare every day.

Thank you for everything you do!

Tomorrow is the Feast of St Francis Assisi who, as well as being remembered for his generosity to the poor and his willingness to minister to the lepers, is also renowned for his love for animals and nature.

To mark this day, the mission and volunteer teams arranged for Fr Mannes Tellis OP to bless the pet therapy dogs who work with their handlers to bring joy to our patients, staff, and visitors.

It was a lovely gathering in the chapel garden, where the furry guests of honour enjoyed some home-made treats while others tucked in to a delicious morning tea.

We sincerely thank and acknowledge the special work of Donnie, Janey, Alaska, Phaedra, Cherry, Lotte, Trixie, and those who weren’t able to attend the blessing – Addie, Jet, Cheechy, Lyric, Gracie and Jaspa; along with their dedicated two-legged helpers.

'Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures.
You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air, and animals on the land.
You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters.
We ask you to bless this pet.
By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan.
May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation.'

We marked R U OK? Day today with a delicious lunch, served to staff and volunteers by members of the hospitality, executive, and management teams. A special mention to Monti for singing and Angelo on the guitar, sharing great songs in the theme of 'being there for others'.

Life is full of ups and downs, so it’s important to check in with those around us and ask R U OK? any day of the year.

You don’t need to be an expert, just a good friend and listener.
Some steps that might help youhave that conversation:

- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
