History
The idea of establishing a hospital at Fitzroy Crossing was first considered by the Australian Inland Mission 1922. The Fitzroy crossing Hospital was eventually established in 1939.
The two storey building has subsequently been demolished, however a plaque has been erected on the former hospital site as a memorial to the work carried out there. Sisters Margaret Coakes (Wells) and Alice Hall were the first of many AIM people to contribute to the service and care for the inland people provided by the hospital.
