Proserpine Hospital

Overview

Proserpine Hospital is a rural healthcare facility serving the township of Proserpine and surrounding communities in Queensland’s Whitsunday region. With approximately 42 beds, the hospital provides emergency services, general medicine, surgery, maternity, and outpatient care. Operating as part of the Mackay Hospital and Health Service, the facility offers 24-hour emergency care, general surgical services, obstetrics, pediatrics, and allied health services. Located approximately 125 kilometers north of Mackay, Proserpine Hospital serves a catchment population of around 10,000 people across this agricultural and tourism region. The hospital plays an important role in providing healthcare to both local residents and visitors to the popular Whitsunday tourist destinations. The facility underwent significant upgrades in recent years, enhancing its capacity to manage emergency cases before transfer to larger facilities if required. Proserpine Hospital works closely with Mackay Base Hospital and Townsville University Hospital for patients requiring higher levels of care.
