We extend sincere thanks to Geraldine Murphy, Interim Director of Nursing at St. Joseph’s Community Hospital, Millstreet for very kindly sharing the following uplifting message together with some 24 colourful images. Tap on the pictures to enlarge. (S.R.)
“The 26th May 2025 marked a significant milestone in the life of our Hospital……the opening of our New Extension.
This moment represents more than bricks and mortar……it is a symbol of our growth, commitment and dedication to serving this community and the surrounding area. The extension means single ensuite rooms for our residents,including large sitting /dining room with safe outdoor area where they can enjoy the view of Clara mountain.
As the person in charge I would like to thank the Estates team, the Contractors, Senior management, past and current Staff, Friends of Millstreet Hospital and all who have made this possible.
Your efforts have directly contributed to something that will have a truly lasting positive impact for years to come. The following selection of very special photos record the Official Transfer on the wonderfully memorable day….Monday, 26th May 2025.”
What a magnificent building and such a wonderful caring staff. We have no fear of growing old in Millstreet and long may that feeling last. Care for our elderly must always be top of our list as these are the people that paved the way for the rest of us to follow. Thanks boys/girls and enjoy a well earned rest in your new building.
