37°59′42″S 145°05′02″E / 37.994984°S 145.083984°E The Mordialloc-Cheltenham Community Hospital was a hospital in the suburb of Parkdale, Victoria, Australia.
Residents of the Cities of Mordialloc and Chelsea, Victoria worked towards a community hospital from the late 1930s.[1] Having a community hospital meant residents who required routine surgery did not need to travel into Melbourne to the larger established hospitals. This was important at a time when few people had their own transport.
For many years the Mordialloc Carnival Committee contributed to the cost of building the hospital,[2] with one of its contributions to the ‘opening day’ appeal amounting to one thousand pounds, adding to the several thousand already committed
Construction work commenced on the Mordialloc-Cheltenham Community Hospital in 1950.[3] on a site between Booth St and Carrier Ave on the Nepean Highway in Parkdale.
The hospital opened in 1953 and serviced the community until 1996.[3] On 1 August 1995, the hospital became a part of the Southern Health Care Network.[4]
The former hospital site is now the main location of Central Bayside Community Health Services.[5] and so is still associated with Community Health.
