The Clifford Craig Foundation is a health promotion charity supporting the Launceston General Hospital - the acute referral hospital for Tasmania’s North and North-West. Established in 1992, the purpose of the Foundation is to improve the health of the community through the provision of funding for innovative medical research, education, medical equipment and patient facilities within the hospital. Medical research is a priority focus for the Foundation and we enable our research teams to find better treatments and ways to cure the health-related issues that are important to Tasmanians. Importantly, the research and educational opportunities we provide help attract and retain medical specialists, researchers and higher degree students to work in Tasmania. The Clifford Craig Foundation was named after Dr Clifford Craig who came to Launceston in 1926 and made a highly impressive contribution to the Launceston General Hospital and the broader medical community.
