Burnside War Memorial Hospital was established as a living memorial to the men and women of the District who gave their lives in the two World Wars, and all others who served, made possible through the foresight of the City of Burnside and the generous gift of Attunga by Otto Georg von Rieben in 1944. Today, Burnside Hospital remains a private not-for-profit community hospital, offering a range of services and clinics to care for and support the thousands of patients who choose to have their healthcare needs met here each year.
