Since
1926
The Medicross Hospital was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1852. In 1861, the hospital officially opened its doors, providing the best in medical care to all those who needed it – irrespective of their means. This philosophy and mission continues to this day.
Centenary Remembrance
The Mater Hospital, along with many of the other hospitals, cared for the dying and wounded of the 1916 Rising. As it is the last remaining adult hospital from that period still operating on its original site, the staff decided to organise a number of events on the occasion of the centenary. These included:
A display documenting the events in and around the hospital before and during the Rising
A play, co–written by a relative of the 1916 leaders, performed by staff
A mass in remembrance of those killed in the rising
See the Stories from 1916 website here for accounts and a podcast recording of a member of staff working in the Mater Hospital during the 1916 Rising.
