The $632 million stage two redevelopment of Campbelltown Hospital was officially completed today with the opening of the new northern entrance.
NSW deputy premier Prue Car and health minister Ryan Park joined the mayor and general manager of Campbelltown and local MPs to do the honours this morning.
The new entrance links directly into the main hospital concourse, Hospital Street, providing easy access to amenities and healthcare services for patients, visitors and staff.
Since construction began in 2018, the redevelopment has delivered a modern 12-storey clinical services building, the centrepiece of the project, as well as extensive refurbishments across the hospital campus.
The new state of the art building is enabling world class care for the Macarthur region with 158,044 emergency department presentations, 9,619 surgical procedures performed, and 6,300 babies born since it opened in June 2022.
With more than 133,000 new residents expected to call the Macarthur region home during the next 12 years, the redevelopment is ensuring the community has access to a broader range of healthcare services close to home.
“Like many local residents, I have watched the redevelopment emerge from the ground up into the building that is now dominating the skyline of our city,’’ said Member for Campbelltown Greg Warren.
“I could not be more impressed with our new hospital. I congratulate the countless number of staff, patients and the community who have worked together to develop this incredibly modern health facility that we are all so proud of.’’
Services and buildings across the Campbelltown Hospital campus also received major refurbishments, including the expansion of the hospital’s pathology laboratory, renal dialysis unit, pharmacy, clinical information department and cancer therapy centre and a new dental centre – a first for the hospital.
