History
Lewisham Hospital was established in Wagga Wagga in 1926 to serve the health needs of the Riverina region and was operated by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.[4] Over time, the hospital expanded and became part of the Calvary Health Care network, reflecting the broader growth of Catholic healthcare services in regional New South Wales.[5]

The hospital operates alongside the Calvary Riverina Surgicentre and the Calvary Riverina Drug and Alcohol Centre, both managed by Calvary Health Care. The Drug and Alcohol Centre provides inpatient withdrawal management, residential rehabilitation and community-based recovery programs for individuals affected by substance use.[7][8]
The hospital provides specialist palliative care services and maintains links with hospice and community-based palliative care providers through regional palliative care networks.[9][10]
