St Andrew's Hospital is the largest, independent private hospital in Australia. For over 80 years we have been providing medical and surgical excellence to South Australians, and today we are home to the most comprehensive cancer facilities in the state.
The St Andrew's Hospital Foundation exists to support St Andrew's Hospital. We raise funds to provide our hospital with financial support, enabling St Andrew's to maintain state of the art equipment and facilities and to provide specialised staff education and training.
St Andrew's Hospital Foundation has a long history of supporting a community of volunteers who are deeply and personally connected to the hospital and wish to make a meaningful contribution.
