Greenslopes Private Hospital

A historical museum for Greenslopes Private Hospital has been established in one of the former and still existing “bunkers” of the hospital. There were originally three bunkers located at Greenslopes Hospital during the war, with only one still in existence. The story of Greenslopes Hospital is a slice of Australian national history since it was opened in 1942, many experiences and events have occurred at the hospital. “The Bunker” displays many old photos dating back to pre opening in 1942 and newspaper clippings from the hospital’s past. Visitors to the bunker can enjoy the story of the hospital’s 60 year history through the audiovisual presentation which is part of the display. Endocrinologist and resident historian, Dr Chris Strakosch has had a life long interest history and was integral in setting up the display and continuing to ensure new elements are added to keep it interesting.
