History
History
St Georges Hospital is an Incorporated Society with charitable trust status established by the people of Canterbury The Hospital had been one of the early decisions of the Canterbury Association in Great Britain that in the formation of the Canterbury settlement in New Zealand there should be established a cathedral a university college a school for the secondary education of boys a church hopsital and later a medical school
The early Canterbury settlers vision resulted in the development of Christs College in 1851 the Christchurch Hospital 1862 University of Canterbury in 1874 and the Medical School in 1972
In the early 1920s that band of enthusiasts led and inspired by Canon J R Wilford then Principal of College House set the wheels in motion stimulated interest collected money and established an organisation to put the project into effect
The Hospital was built as a result of cooperation between the Church of England and a group of interested Cantabrians and opened its doors in 1928 The Hospital is registered to care for surgical medical and maternity patients mostly from the private sector It also contracts to provide a range of surgical and obstetric services to public patients funded by Government
The Hospital does not have shareholders Any financial surplus is reinvested in the Hospital or used to carry out the Hospitals charitable objectives Today the Hospital is one of the largest private hospitals in New Zealand and is one of the most modern in terms of its equipment and technology
