Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

1938

In 1938, Parkside failed to win a premiership and instead, the local community celebrated the
official opening of the Footscray Clinic.

Despite the common belief that, "Many years ago people didn't think that sports-related injuries
were severe enough to warrant any treatment and probably soldiered on in their daily lives seriously
limited in what they could do without thinking they needed it treated", the health care in our local
community is a role of immense importance.

Footscray Clinic

“The Clinic Footscray was founded in 1936 by Dr Guthridge and Dr Dodd and it is the oldest Group
General Practice in Victoria. It began as a General Practice partnership but has included, in the past,
Radiological service, General Surgery, Paediatric and Obstetric and Gynaecological and Specialist
Physician practice. It has long served the people of the inner urban suburb of Footscray as a
comprehensive family medical practice and also treated work related injuries.”
