Ashford
Ashford Hospital was opened in 1950, a joint collaboration between Unley, Mitcham, West Torrens and Marion Councils and a group of Western District doctors. It was actually the second hospital opened on the same site with Ashford Private Hospital first opening in 1935, which was run by two nursing sisters who sold the hospital to Ashford Community Hospital in 1950.
In 1995, Ashford was the first private hospital in the State to open an emergency department which now attends to approximately 20,000 patients each year. |
