Franklin Memorial Hospital is located in country-like surroundings with rural views.  As the name suggests, the Hospital (opened in 1923) was a war memorial bequested to the town.  It was originally a general hospital before becoming an Obstetric Hospital in 1956.

Since then it has become a long stay unit.

Franklin Memorial Hospital has 28 staff covering 18 beds (12 long stay, 6 ATR and palliative care).

Visiting Hours

General Hours: from 11am until 8pm - outside of these hours can be arranged with the Charge Nurse.

A coin-operated food dispenser is located in the main entrance of the hospital. Reception does not provide coins to exchange.

The local New World grocery store is located a short drive towards the main Waiuku town centre.  Restaurants, cafe bars and takeaway shops are also located within the local town centre.
