The origins of Jervis Street Hospital trace back to the early 18th century, making it one of the oldest healthcare institutions in Dublin. Initially established to provide care for the sick and poor of the city, the hospital underwent numerous expansions and reorganizations over the years to adapt to the changing healthcare needs of the population.
In its early days, Jervis Street Hospital was known for its commitment to providing medical care to those who could not afford it, a principle that guided its operations throughout its history. The hospital played a crucial role during times of epidemic and illness in Dublin, offering services that ranged from general medical care to more specialized treatments.
