Through the decades the care of the sick has been the responsibility of:

  • religious communities
  • military establishments
  • locally financed bodies.

This brief exhibition looks at the histories of institutions which provided comfort and care in Medway.

It is also a small tribute to the men and women whose work and dedication has helped shape the health service of today.
