Calvary North Adelaide Hospital was founded in 1883 by two Catholic philanthropists and handed over to the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary in 1900. It was named “Calvary” in 1928 following a visit by Venerable Mary Potter’s niece, Mother Mary Hilda Potter. At the time, the local Catholic newspaper congratulated the archbishop ‘on the foundation of a hospital under the care of a nursing order…with unrivalled skill and devotion.’
This legacy and a contemporary commitment to excellence in holistic patient care remains central to all the services provided by Calvary North Adelaide Hospital.
