The centre is the main trauma facility for the area, and close connection to road and air transport (air ambulances, helicopter or fixed wing plane) allow patient-hospital transport in less than an hour from any place in the region.[1]

Other services

The hospital has an academic division of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, University of Auckland, acting as a teaching and training centre for undergraduates and postgraduate medical and allied health science students. There is a dedicated training facility, the Bryant Education Centre. Research is also undertaken in cooperation with the Ruakura Agricultural Research Centre and the University of Waikato.[1]

The hospital also has five chaplains who help perform social services and provide counseling, assisted by volunteers. The services are part-funded by the Ministry of Health, churches and donations.[3] The hospital also operates 'Hilda Ross House', a hospital hotel owned by the District Health Board.[1]

History

Plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe trained as a house surgeon at Waikato hospital prior to working in the US and UK with his cousin Harold Gillies. Mary Anne Reidy was also a key figure in the preservation of the hospital.[4]
