    Vanessa Barratt At one time, Sisters of St John of God ran every facet of their hospital in Goulburn. Their numbers fluctuated from eight who arrived in the city in 1916 to about 17 in the 1950s and then four by 1995. Then by 2004 there were two. The last Sister of St John of God will leave Goulburn in coming weeks, ending nearly 100 years of health care in the city. Sr Eileen Regan is saddened by the prospect, but she’s also a realist. “We knew it was coming and that we’d eventually be transferred,” she told the Post. Sr Eileen is moving back to Western Australia, where she completed much of her early nursing work. Much of the order is also based in that state. Her departure comes after that of Sr Boniface Scully several weeks ago. Like many of her order, she devoted almost a lifetime of service, in this case 55 years to running and working in the former St John of God Hospital’s kitchen. https://www.goulburnpost.com.au/story/387974/saintly-sister-nursing-era-ends/
