Welcome to St John of God Hospital Bendigo
St John of God Health Care acquired Mt
Alvernia Mercy Hospital in February 2005, renaming it St John of
God Hospital Bendigo.
St John of God Health Care is proudly
continuing the Catholic tradition and mission of providing
excellence in health care at Bendigo, which was started by the
Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood who founded the
hospital in 1961. In 1997, Mercy Health & Aged Care acquired
the hospital, which has become a modern and successful regional
private hospital.
St
John of God Health Care is committed to investing in the hospital's
future, developing services and facilities to serve the regional
and rural communities of Bendigo and central and northern
Victoria.
St John of God Hospital Bendigo is a division
of St John of God Health Care, one of
Australia's largest health care providers.
As a Catholic, not-for-profit group, St John
of God Health Care returns all surplus funds to the communities it
serves by:
- updating and expanding technology, facilities
and services
- providing social outreach and advocacy
services to people who are oppressed, materially poor, powerless
and disadvantaged.
