Description: From the muddy banks of the Fitzroy River to the cutting-edge campus of today, this sweeping history traces more than a century and a half of care at one of Central Queensland's most vital institutions. Jeff and Claude AI chart the hospital's evolution through frontier hardship, tropical epidemics, world wars, and the sweeping advances of modern medicine, revealing how a fledgling colonial outpost grew into a regional healthcare cornerstone. Rich in local detail and human endeavour, this is a story of resilience, community, and the enduring mission to heal on the Capricorn Coast.
