Born from a 300-bed military hospital intended to accommodate injured and sick United States military personnel serving in the Pacific, Middlemore Hospital opened to the public in 1947.
Middlemore is now a tertiary-level hospital facility that boasts the busiest emergency department in the southern hemisphere, a world-renowned plastic surgery and burns centre, a leading spinal unit, and award-winning mental health facilities within an organisation that serves the health needs of over half a million people.
In celebration of 75 years of service, we are sharing 75 stories of this incredible building, its people, and the communities it serves.
