Staff, patients and local community brightened up the hospital corridors today (17 May) to celebrate IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia Biphobia and Transphobia) at WNHS.

We ask visitors to familiarise themselves with our hospital visiting conditions before arriving at KEMH. 

Happy Easter to all of our NMHS staff, patients and the wider WA community.

On Easter Sunday, we will still be caring for our patients at King Edward Memorial hospital, but staff were today treated to some delicious fresh hot cross buns from Coles Subiaco!

One hundred years ago, Edith Cowan was the first woman to serve as a member for parliament. Edith and other prominent women campaigned hard for a women’s hospital. In 1916 the doors of KEMH finally opened and five years later Edith campaigned successfully for a seat in parliament.

In 2018 King Edward Memorial Hospital was added alongside Edith Cowan to the $50 note.
