Publisher's Synopsis
Told against a backdrop of social and political changes as well as modern church developments, this history of the seven internationally renowned Mater Misericordiae hospitals reveals an integral chapter in the medical history of Queensland. From the gestation of the hospitals in the minds of the Sisters of Mercy through the system's rise to eminence in health care-one in six Queenslanders was born at a Mater hospital-this 100-year document will remind millions of patients, nurses, and doctors of the hospitals' touching, high-quality approach.
