The 3-storey building features;
• Lower Ground Floor – Administration, medical records and pathology laboratory
• Ground floor – Main entrance, emergency, medical imaging, and outpatient care including expanded renal, oncology, Hospital in the Home, clinics and outpatient rehabilitation gym
• First floor - Operating theatres, intensive care, maternity, special care nursery and paediatrics inpatient units.
• Second floor – Aged care and rehabilitation, surgical and medical inpatients units.
Other key features include:
• Direct clinical linkage with St Vincent’s Private Community Hospital (SVPCH) to promote sharing of services.
• Dedicated access and entry for emergency vehicles and deliveries.
• Co-location of non-clinical support services including stores, workshop, body hold, plant and waste in a standalone building with an enclosed clinical corridor link to the new Griffith Base Hospital and SVPCH.
• Community Health as a standalone building offering a greater number of health-related services within the precinct.
In addition, there will be new car parking, landscaping of the health campus and the remaining redundant buildings will be demolished at the conclusion of the project.
