Upcoming Meetings:


February 26th, 2026

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 26th of February at the Dulwich Community Centre, 14 Union St, Dulwich at 6:00 pm.

We are delighted to welcome Kellie Branson this month, who will be presenting on The History of the Helipad. Kellie will explore the development of the helipad as an element of hospital infrastructure, and what it reveals about the evolution of emergency care and patient transport in South Australia.

Kellie is a long-serving volunteer with the CALHN Health Museum and has contributed significantly to the museum's research and interpretation work. Her work includes writing articles and blog posts for the museum's website, where she explores many facets of South Australia's health-care history (see: her Health Museum blog articles).
