Southern Cross’ Invercargill hospital was originally established in 1919.  It was bequeathed to Southern Cross in 1992 - and a new hospital was built and completed in August 1994.

The hospital is a top class facility in a very pleasant inner city location, situated opposite Queens Park and Southland Museum.

Our hospital offers patients quality care and features comfortable patient rooms, and pleasant grounds and gardens which are available to them during their recuperation.

Our promise is a quality-driven and friendly service and we offer our patients excellent, modern facilities, and access to a range of elective surgical and specialist services including general surgery, gynaecological surgery, breast surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopaedic surgery, otolaryngology, gastroenterology and endoscopy services, urology and vascular surgery.

Investing in quality

Our promise in Invercargill is a quality-driven service. We deliver quality care, not only to Southern Cross members, but also to patients with other forms of private insurance cover.  Increasingly, we provide services to those choosing to fund their surgery themselves, and to patients being funded by ACC and other public funding arrangements.
