Description: From its earliest days perched near the escarpment to its emergence as a major regional health centre, this is the story of an institution that has shaped the Illawarra for generations. Tracing the hospital's growth through wartime pressures, postwar expansion, and the rise of modern specialised medicine, the book pays tribute to the nurses, doctors, and staff whose dedication built its enduring reputation. Rich with community memory and historical detail, it captures how bricks, wards, and people came together to serve a growing coastal region. A compelling read for anyone interested in local history, healthcare, or the human stories behind Wollongong's most vital institution.
