Port Macquarie Private Hospital has announced plans for a $30 million expansion, with stage one to include a new operating theatre, on-site radiology services, new medical consulting suites, and an on-site pharmacy dispensary.
Port Macquarie Private Hospital CEO, Connie Porter said the significant upgrade would allow the hospital to meet the needs of the growing local community.
“I’m excited to be expanding Port Macquarie Private Hospital to offer even more health care services for the community,” Ms Porter said.
“The master plan allows for significant construction in coming years including multiple new theatres, a higher acuity unit, and multiple new wards.
“Stage one includes the first new operating theatre, which will take us to a total of seven theatres and allow us to extend our existing surgical offerings. Patients can then stay in modern, comfortable accommodations with the upgrade of 12 of our patient rooms and bathrooms.”
Stage one will also include development of a new centralised sterilising area to accommodate the growing facility and upgrades to building façade, reception, administration and café areas.
“Port Macquarie Private Hospital is dedicated to offering leading, private health care services for our local community and has been for more than 40 years. I thank Ramsay Health Care for this significant investment in the Port Macquarie region, we are excited to get the build underway,” Ms Porter said.
Development of stage one will commence in February 2023 and is due to be completed in early 2024.
