The Far North Hospital Foundation is the most prominent local charity in the Cairns region and raises funds to improve equipment and facilities at the Cairns Hospital and the other regional hospitals. We exist to achieve our vision of superior health care in Far North Queensland.
In addition to fundraising, we operate two cafes, vending machines, and the car park at the Cairns Hospital.
