According to the state governmenbt, the first stages of the project, including urgent care, dialysis, and oncology spaces, are set to be completed by the end of this month, and the remainder of the project is on track to be completed in the coming months.
Managed by Western Health, Sunbury Day Hospital has been in operation since February 2011, and once the Sunbury Community Hospital is complete, the organisation will be able to provide more public urgent care services.
The works are funded under the state’s Community Hospitals Program.
The urgent care services will include x-ray, ultrasound rooms and CT scans, pharmacy and pathology services.
Day Medical has also been expanded to include additional chairs to treat patients in dialysis and oncology.

The program aims to create new developments in Whittlesea and Point Cook, relocate and expand on existing health services on a new site at Cranbourne and Pakenham, and upgrade or expand existing health services at Craigieburn, Phillip Island, and Sunbury.
