More services are now available at the Sunbury Community Hospital.
Health minister Mary-Anne Thomas visited the hospital recently to announce the doubling of chemotherapy chairs available to patients.
“This is about delivering better care, closer to home – and the expanded services at Sunbury Community Hospital mean locals can access the services they need without the need to travel far,” she said.
The state government has been upgrading the Sunbury Community Hospital to transform the former day hospital into a modern health service with a greater range of services.
More care options and services for locals have been added, making it easier to access vital treatment closer to home.
From July, the hospital will open three additional chemotherapy chairs, increase diagnostic imaging by recruiting more staff and deliver more endoscopy procedures with extra day surgery sessions on site.
It builds on the existing day medical, surgical, chemotherapy, haemodialysis and specialist outpatient services already provided by the Sunbury Community Hospital.
“For families across our region, the upgraded Sunbury Community Hospital means better care closer to home – expanding critical oncology services to ensure Sunbury families can receive the care they need locally,” Sunbury MP Josh Bull said.
The services delivered are complemented by the nearby Sunbury Urgent Care Clinic.
