Description: From its earliest days on the shores of Corio Bay to its transformation into a major regional health service, this comprehensive history traces more than a century and a half of medical care in Geelong. Follow the hospital through colonial beginnings, world wars, devastating epidemics, and waves of modernisation that reshaped both its buildings and its practice. Rich in local detail and human stories, the book charts the people, milestones, and challenges that forged one of Victoria's most vital healthcare institutions. A fitting tribute to the doctors, nurses, patients, and community who built a hospital equal to its city.
