The hospital was built in 1896 to a design by Edward William Mountford.[1][2] It was endowed by the local wine merchant Richard Badger, and named by him in memory of his wife.[3][4] The street opposite the Hospital's main frontage is called 'Badgers Crescent'.[5]
Its facilities include a 16 bedded ward with on site physiotherapy, occupational therapy, x-ray, out-patient clinics and a first aid unit. There is a day unit attached to the hospital together with community nursing services.[6]
