Tallaght University Hospital was formed in 1998 through the merging of the Adelaide, Meath and National Childrens' Hospitals, with the base hospitals converting into charitable foundations.
Originally known as the Adelaide Hospital Society, and now the Adelaide Health Foundation [AHF], we are based in Tallaght University Hospital [TUH].
We support education and research to advance and promote equitable access to healthcare services in Ireland, with a particular focus on TUH and the community it serves.
