History
The beginning for both Nelson and Wairau Hospitals can be found in the earliest development of the top of New Zealands South Island
Settlement in both Nelson and Marlborough represented many difficulties from the health of the immigrants when they arrived off ship to impure water supply and hostile terrain
This was especially marked in Marlborough as settlers moved out in to the Sounds
In Nelson the first hospital was established in 1852 with Marlboroughs following in 1865
While hospital development for Nelson has always centred around in Nelson City for Marlborough a cottage hospital was built in Picton in the early days
The hospitals in both areas grew as need required and as provincial then central government coffers would allow
For many years the Nelson and Wairau Hospitals and their related services were managed separately Amalgamation first occurred in 1988 with the establishment of the Nelson Marlborough Area Health Board
Over the years both Hospitals have gone through a number of transitions to become some of New Zealands leading health care providers providing a range of facilities and services required by the diverse communities they serve
Today both hospitals and a myriad of other services are managed by the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board
The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board which came in to being in 2001 employs over two thousand health professionals and other workers Their skills and enthusiasm serve a population of nearly 120000 in a region that is one of the fastest growing in New Zealand
