Our History

The rohe (area) that the Grace campus is situated on was included in the tribal lands of Ngāti Pukenga, Ngāi Te Rangi, and Ngāti Ranginui. Ngāti Ruahine is the hapu.

In 2000 the two private hospitals in Tauranga (one owned by Southern Cross Hospitals, and the other by local doctors) combined as one company. The new company was owned by a group of Tauranga surgeons, anesthetists, and Southern Cross Hospitals, who formed a partnership.

In response to population growth, the increased demand for private surgery and the success of the partnership, a new private hospital was built on our current site. The land was being used as a macadamia orchard and was purchased from a local farmer. In 2007, Grace Hospital was opened. The name was chosen to reflect the work of Reverend Grace who carried out missionary work in our local community in the 19th century.

Our company is now named Evolution Southern Cross (a joint venture partnership between Evolution Healthcare and Southern Cross Healthcare) but is known as Grace Hospital.
Our vision is:
To be first choice in the provision of surgical and related services
