My daughter, Susan, was born at the Civic Hospital 50 years ago. We had emigrated from Ireland 18 months before and brought two children with us. My first two births were hard and not good memories, but when I went in, in labour, to the Civic, the experience was totally different. The nurses were wonderful […]

I worked at the Civic Hospital for 35 years! Doctors, nurses, technicians, social workers, support staff — all work tirelessly to make the hospital the best it can be. I was honoured to work and care for the patients at the Civic Campus. Continued success in the coming years! God Bless.

I graduated from the Medical Laboratory Technology programme in 1963, the 2nd class of the training programme. One teacher and 6 students in a room just down the hall from the morgue.

I was born at the civic hospital in 1989, and was delivered by Dr. George Tawagi. And this year, I’ll be joining the department of Ob/Gyn at the Civic campus, where Dr. Tawagi is still working!

Rose M.

I was born at the Civic, did most of my placements to become a registered nurse there, have worked there for 34 years, had my babies there and my husband (as a joke) says I’m going to die there! 🤣 So exciting to have the 100th birthday celebration Nov 27, ’24! Looking forward to the […]
