At Jessie McPherson Private Hospital, our story began with women.
Founded in 1931 as part of the pioneering Queen Victoria Hospital, our origins are deeply connected to a movement that created opportunities for women in medicine, at a time when those opportunities were rare.
More than 90 years later, that spirit lives on.
Healthcare is an industry held up by women. Every day across our wards, theatres and teams, women support women; as clinicians, leaders, mentors, colleagues and friends.
From the bedside to the boardroom, from midwives to surgeons, nurses to administrators, the strength of our hospital comes from the women who care, lead and lift each other up.
This International Women’s Day, and in the spirit of this year’s theme , we celebrate the power of women supporting women and the balance that creates stronger teams, stronger care and stronger communities.
Here’s to the women of Jessie McPherson Private Hospital.
And to the generations of women who came before us.
