St. Joseph's Hospital, Dublin
- St. Joseph's Hospital, Dublin
St. Joseph's Hospital is a secondary hospital in Raheny, on the Northside of Dublin in Ireland. It was founded, as St. Joseph's Nursing Home, in Edenmore House, by a religious order, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery, at the request of Archbishop McQuaid and under the supervision of the order's General House in Rome. Work started on the feast of St. Joseph the Workman in 1957 and the home opened in 1958.
Previous owners of the house, once known as Violet Hill, included Mr. Samuel Dick, who built Raheny's famous Crescent of cottages. The house later hosted the gala party for the launch of the Dublin to Drogheda Railway.
Under the nuns a private hospital, St. Joseph's passed to a private party abroad, and in 2001 was acquired by the Eastern Regional Health Authority for 10 million Irish pounds; the ERHA has been succeeded by the Health Services Executive. It is administered by the Board of Beaumont Hospital, which uses it for step-down and non-acute care; it also provides some day care.
Beaumont has announced (February 2007) that two new 50-bed community nursing care units have been agreed for construction at St. Joseph's, to alleviate pressure on the main hospital.
St. Joseph's is situated in a fenced area on the banks of the Santry River, with the main hospital building and a gate lodge for private consultations. It adjoins Springdale National School.
The Friars of St. Francis Capuchin Friary, Station Road, Raheny, are the Catholic Chaplains to the Hospital.
