We warmly invite patients, staff and visitors to write a short prayer or wish for peace, and place it on our Tree of Peace, located near the atrium.

We especially keep in our prayers those who have family in areas affected by conflict.

Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain, and severely impact the daily life of sufferers.

In our first of a new Q&A series with Calvary specialists, Gynaecologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon Dr Prabhath Wagaarachchi gives an insight into Endometriosis, including the signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.

At Calvary, we have many experienced and highly skilled specialists like Dr Wagaarachchi who consult and operate with us, supported by specialised nursing and allied health staff. Gynaecological services are specifically offered here at Calvary North Adelaide and at Calvary Central Districts Hospital.

On this day 126 years ago, five Sisters of the Little Company of Mary arrived in Adelaide on the French steamship MM Armand Behic.

Today we give thanks for the strong foundations laid by these Sisters. Here at Calvary North Adelaide Hospital, the heritage site where it all began, we are privileged to carry on their legacy by bringing healing and hope to all of our patients and their families.

Staff marked the occasion by coming together to enjoy some delicious scones, and heritage tours were run throughout the day.

Yesterday was , so we thought we'd share some of the initiatives that we have in place across our three SA hospitals and aged care facilities, with thanks to our regional ICT team.

We are sending functional mobile phones that are no longer in use to the Bedford Group, a well-established South Australian social enterprise supporting people with disability. Prior to dispatch, all devices undergo secure data erasure, and then they will be repurposed through Bedford’s partnership with Backpacks 4 SA Kids INC. providing essential communication tools to children in crisis care.

For other ICT hardware—including monitors, laptops, desktops, printers, servers, switches, and accessories, we work with Compnow through their SustainIT program. This initiative ensures environmentally responsible disposal and full data sanitisation.

These partnerships not only support our sustainability goals but also contribute positively to the community.

Staff and visitors were treated to freshly cooked pancakes in the atrium this morning, as it’s Shrove Tuesday - a firm favourite on the calendar for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The day is marked each year on the day before Ash Wednesday, to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent: hence pancakes!

A beautiful way to mark Valentine's Day, and celebrate love! 🥰

Please join us in welcoming our Graduate Nurse/Midwife Transition Program (GNTP) participants!

These nurses and midwives are starting their careers with Calvary this week, having been successful in obtaining a placement in this structured program, designed to help them confidently transition from student to registered clinician.

Supported by dedicated coordinators, preceptors and clinical educators, the program includes a comprehensive orientation, study days, and ongoing learning opportunities to help consolidate knowledge and build strong clinical practice.

Here at North Adelaide, our GNTPs will work across a range of medical, surgical, cancer, maternity, women’s health, and palliative care services over the next 12 months. We welcome them to the Calvary family, and wish them a long and fulfilling career.
