History

Maroondah Hospital has played an integral part in the healthcare of local residents in Melbourne’s east since it was opened by Victorian Governor Sir Henry Winneke on July 3, 1976.

The idea for a public hospital in the region came about at a public meeting at Ringwood Town Hall in April 1964, with building commencing February 1973.

Since then, Maroondah Hospital has continued to grow.

Maroondah hospital celebrated its 40th anniversary on Wednesday 16 November 2016 with a special event. [4]

In 2022, the hospital was in the middle of a Victorian election battle between the Labor and Liberal parties, both parties promising to provide substantial funding for redevelopments and expansion works. As part of the Labor proposal the hospital would be renamed form the Indigenous Australian name Maroondah Hospital to Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, this has been widely criticised by the Victoria’s First Peoples’ Assembly.
