In his proposal to address the quality of life and high premature death rates among destitute and poor children, he was supported by a group of prominent Adelaide citizens with members of the medical profession. The first in-patient was admitted in June 1879. In 1893 the first woman to graduate in medicine from the University of Adelaide, Laura Fowler, was appointed to the staff. The Hospital's first laboratory was established in 1897 to diagnose typhoid, diphtheria and tuberculosis. Other facilities ran by the Hospital included the Queen Victoria Convalescent Home for Children at Mount Lofty (1898 - 1940s) and the Mareeba Babies' Hospital, Woodville (1951 - 1960). From the 1970s parents were encouraged to be closely involved in the treatment of their children. In 1989 the Hospital amalgamated with the Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital to become the Adelaide Medical Centre for Women and Children (later the Women's and Children's Hospital).
