We are Bloomfield Hospital

For more than 200 years, Bloomfield Hospital has provided specialised treatment, care, and support to adults with a range of severe and enduring mental health issues and neuropsychiatric disorders including Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease.
