Establishment In the mid-1950s, the University of Western Australia launched an appeal for funds to create a
medical school, and the Raines were approached directly for a contribution. A donation was made, with the promise of more in future. In September 1956 Joe suffered a severe
stroke caused by
arteriosclerosis, resulting in paralysis. After several weeks in hospital, with no sign of recovery, he was moved to a room in the Wentworth Hotel, with a hospital bed and a team of nurses to tend him. On 11 February 1957 he suffered a
cerebral haemorrhage and died. Raine instructed that none of the money she left was to be used for a building or monument in her or Joe's name. == Supported projects ==
