Calvary Wakefield Hospital

The former Calvary Wakefield Hospital (previously Wakefield Hospital) was a private Catholic hospital founded in 1883 in Adelaide, South Australia.[1] It provided acute care with inpatient and outpatient facilities, dental care and plastic and reconstructive surgery to patients. Situated on the north-western corner of Wakefield and Hutt Streets, it was one of four private hospitals in South Australia under the Calvary name.

Since its 2006 acquisition from Ramsay Health Care, the hospital has been one of the Little Company of Mary (LCM) Health Care providers overseen by the international religious institute Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.[2] Prior to its acquisition, the 180-bed hospital was called Wakefield Hospital.[3]

The new Calvary Adelaide Hospital, as of July 2019 at 120 Angas Street, replaced Calvary Wakefield Hospital[4] when it opened on January 6, 2020.[5]
