Braemar Hospital Centenary 2026
For a century, Braemar Hospital has been at the heart of our community, delivering exceptional healthcare with compassion, expertise, and unwavering dedication to patient wellbeing.
Our Journey: Braemar’s origins trace back to 1924 when Tirohia, a maternity hospital on Tainui Street, was transformed by nursing Sister Frances Young. In 1926, she expanded services to include medical and surgical care and renamed it Braemar Hospital. In 1970, ownership transferred to the Braemar Charitable Trust, cementing our commitment to community-focused healthcare for generations to come.
A Legacy Built on Excellence: Our history is shaped by skilled specialists, devoted staff, and the trust of thousands of patients who have chosen Braemar for their healthcare journey. From those early days on Tainui Street to today’s modern campus, we’ve continuously evolved while maintaining the values that define us—quality care, patient dignity, and clinical excellence.
Building Our Future: As we celebrate our centenary, we’re investing in our campus to honour this milestone. Our reception refurbishment and facility upgrades ensure Braemar continues to lead in patient-centered care with enhanced spaces, improved technology, and sustainable practices for the next 100 years.
Share Your Braemar Story: We’re collecting memories, historical insights, old photos, and memorabilia throughout the year to celebrate this special occasion. If Braemar has been part of your life or family’s journey, we’d love to hear from you.
