In the heart of regional Victoria, the story of Mooroopna Hospital and Mooroopna and District Base Hospital unfolds as a testament to community, compassion, and the enduring human spirit. Not Bricks and Mortar and Paint - But People chronicles Volume 2 of this institution's rich history, covering the period from 1926 through to the occupation of the new hospital at Shepparton — a narrative that places the people who built, staffed, and depended upon these facilities firmly at its centre. Compiled by Geoffrey Nice, this work argues that the true measure of a hospital is not found in its infrastructure or aesthetics, but in the lives it touches and the community it serves. Drawing on meticulous local research, it presents an intimate portrait of regional Australian healthcare history, illuminating the dedication of medical staff, administrators, and patients alike. A phrase spoken by Mr. J.G. Nease of Undera — used as the book's very title — captures the philosophy at its core, leaving the reader to wonder: in an era of modernisation, have we ever truly honoured those who gave these institutions their soul?
