St Andrew's Private Hospital, Adelaide, was opened in 1936 - an initiative of Ms Janet Hay, the owner and Director of Nursing. In 1947 the privately owned hospital - and the land on which the present hospital stands - were bought by the Presbyterian Church of South Australia and renamed St Andrew's Presbyterian Hospital.

With the inauguration of the Uniting Church in 1977, the hospital's constitution was changed and the affairs of St Andrew's was vested in the Board of Governors instead of the church authority. Subsequently the hospital's name was changed by deletion of the word "Presbyterian".

St Andrew’s Hospital has provided medical and surgical excellence to South Australians for over 80 years.

Every year, St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital celebrates the commitment and service of their people on one very special day in November, St Andrew’s Day.

The day is not only St Andrew’s Feast Day, but a day to award long serving team members, honour outstanding staff with the prestigious Spirit of St Andrew’s Award, and rejoice in the hospital’s uniquely Scottish roots.

This year, the hospital recognised staff who received 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and five years of service, while 17 staff received the Spirit of St Andrew’s Award which celebrates those who have gone above and then beyond for our patients and their families.

General Manager, Mairi McNeill, said the day was always a special occasion for staff.
