The Coast Hospital at Little Bay, on the ocean side of the La Perouse peninsula, was commissioned on the 6th December, 1881 and operated initially as a sanitation camp for healthy contacts of smallpox patients who were nursed across the harbour at Quarantine Station on North Head. This hospital has the distinction of being the first public hospital in NSW, earlier hospitals such as the Rum Hospital being run by charities. In 1934 the Coast Hospital became the Prince Henry Hospital to honour the visit of Prince Henry, third son of King George. The Nursing and Medical Museum showcases the hospital through the eras of change. There are displays of surgical instruments, a large collection of photographs and a comprehension range of uniforms for nurses, doctors, domestic, and past catering staff. The library features books used by nurses and doctors dating back to the early 1900s. The Nurses War Memorial Chapel built by the Prince Henry Hospital Trained Nurses Association in 1967 is located on the site and dedicated to the nurses of both world wars.
