Overview
Established in 1992, the Clifford Craig Foundation is a health promotion charity that supports the Launceston General Hospital, the tertiary referral hospital for North and North-West Tasmania. The purpose of the Foundation is to improve the health of the community that it serves through the provision of funding for innovative medical research, education of health professionals, funding of medical equipment and patient facilities within the hospital.
