ADELAIDE HEALTH FOUNDATION

Adelaide Health Foundation is an independent charitable organisation dedicated to advancing equitable access to healthcare services and education throughout Ireland. Based at Tallaght University Hospital, the foundation works closely with the hospital and the surrounding community, investing in projects that improve patient care and support local health initiatives.

The foundation's core activities include commissioning actionable healthcare research that informs policy and practice, improving community health services in the Tallaght area, and supporting the education of nursing and medical students. Through these programmes, Adelaide Health Foundation seeks to promote excellence in health education, foster public and patient involvement, and uphold the dignity and self-determination of every individual.

Guided by values of equal access, independence of opinion, and respect for patient dignity, the foundation operates as a not-for-profit entity that places the mind, body and spirit of patients at the centre of its work. Its mission is to create a healthier Ireland by championing research, education and community-focused healthcare delivery.
