About Us

The hospital originated from the two private nursing homes at Leeson Street and Pembroke Street , Dublin operated under the care of the Religious Sisters of Charity. With the establishment of St. Vincent’s Hospital at Elm Park the nursing homes were working in isolation from the main hospital and a decision was made to move into new premises closer to St. Vincent ’s Hospital. The hospital was completed and opened for patients on 1st May 1974.  The building was entirely financed by the Sisters of Charity at the time.

The hospital  initially consisted of 140 beds, mostly four-bedded and five-bedded rooms, and twenty-four single rooms complete with bathrooms.  A building project completed in the early eighties added another twenty single rooms, an x-ray department, administration, offices, a private consultants clinic, physiotherapy and pharmacy.     

In the 1980’s the hospital installed an MRI scanner and developed  comprehensive radiotherapy services in the 1990’s.  It  also concentrated on a number of specialities for daycare patients including oncology, gastroenterology, chest investigations, minor surgery, urology and gynaecology.   

The hospital developed into a modern acute hospital with 164 inpatient and 36 day care beds with a wide range of inpatient and out-patient diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical services. 

The new St. Vincent's Private Hospital opened on 14 November 2010 with  236 in-patient beds and 54 day care spaces. The hospital achieved Joint Commission International Accreditation in September 2009. The hospital operates on a not for profit basis with a dedicated Management Team and Chief Executive reporting through the Group CEO to the Board of Directors. The hospital is a member of St. Vincent ’s Healthcare Group .
