The Hospital was erected to commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two.
In 1928 the Fernley Private Hospital opened in Mary Street, Yea. In 1939 the name of the Hospital was changed to the Yea Bush Nursing Hospital. The Hospital and Charities Commission assumed responsibility for the hospital in 1948 and took the current name of Yea and District Memorial Hospital.
A public appeal was commenced in the same year to fund the construction of a new ten bed hospital building. Building work commenced in 1956 and the new acute beds were first occupied in 1958.
