Calvary Health Care Adelaide is one of Adelaide's oldest hospitals, having been established in 1900. It was founded by the Little Company of Mary Sisters, and features a large maternity wing. Calvary is a fully operational hospital, which currently has 153 beds. It also has an extensive Mary Potter Hospice and a comprehensive Cancer Centre.
It is located on Strangways Terrace in North Adelaide, only two kilometres out of the CBD.
Calvary Healthcare now owns Calvary Wakefield Hospital, Calvary Central Districts Hospital and Calvary College Grove Rehabilitation Hospital. Because of the recent acquisition of the three hospitals, the North Adelaide Hospital is now referred to as Calvary North Adelaide so as not to avoid confusion.
