A new wing at St John of God Ballarat Hospital underpins St John of God Health Care’s commitment to providing top-tier medical and surgical care to the Ballarat region.
A result of a significant investment, the new facilities in the Wexford Wing include a 10-bed intensive care and coronary care unit, four new operating theatres, an expanded recovery room and a 30-bed, in-patient ward.
St John of God Ballarat Hospital chief Maria Noonan, who started as a student nurse at the hospital more than 40 years ago, said the redevelopment was a “true testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence in private healthcare and our ongoing mission to offer a place of healing and care for our community”.
“With these impressive new facilities, we can now meet the growing private health care needs of both the Ballarat community and the wider region.”
The new facilities complement the recently opened catheter lab and central sterile services, which are already supporting a wide range of cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures and enhancing patient safety.
St John of God Health Care Group CEO Bryan Pyne said the redevelopment and new wing meant better access to advanced private health care for its regional communities.
“It will ensure that our patients and their loved ones can have access to the very best care in a warm and welcoming environment, right here in their local community,” he said.
“The Ballarat Hospital redevelopment is part of our ongoing organisational capital program along with St John of God Richmond, Subiaco, Geelong, Midland Private and Murdoch hospitals, which are all are critical to delivering contemporary care close to home for our communities.”
Expansion projects at several other St John of God Health Care hospitals have been ushering in improvements to patient care and experience across its locations in Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia.
