Established in 1947 at Garth House as the Holy Spirit Hospital, the Holy Spirit Sisters founded the hospital with a mission to serve the community.
Growing to over 100 beds in the 1950s, by 1965, Garth House and it’s neighboring nineteenth century houses that initially sat a top Wickham Terrace were gradually demolished to make way for a modern Holy Spirit Hospital (H.S.H). The iconic fence remnant in the photo has been retained after the three nineteenth century grand residences were demolished.
In 2003, the Holy Spirit Hospital was acquired by Queensland Private Hospitals Ltd. and renamed Brisbane Private Hospital and subsequently acquired by Healthscope in 2007.
The hospital continues to be a major healthcare provider in Brisbane.
