Bethesda Hospital

About Bethesda Hospital

The story of Bethesda is a narrative of faith and dedication of many people, but of one in particular, Matron Beryl Hill. On the 1 January 1943, Matron Hill, who had recently returned from missionary service at the London Missionary Hospital in the Himalaya Mountains of India, entered into a partnership with Sister Mildred Murray for the purposes of taking over a small hospital known as St Andrews, situated in Hammersley Road in Subiaco. The aim of this partnership was to establish a Christian hospital which would cater for the spiritual, as well as the physical needs of the community.
