Introduction:
The South Australian Government has pledged a significant $320.8 million investment to transform the Mount Barker Hospital, marking the beginning of a major redevelopment on its existing site. This project aims to enhance access to high-quality healthcare services, bringing vital medical facilities closer to home for the growing population of Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills region. As the area continues to expand, this development will play a crucial role in supporting the health and wellbeing of the local community.
Features:
The expansion plan involves increasing the inpatient capacity from 34 to 102 beds, with a focus on enhancing specialist services in maternity, pediatrics, rehabilitation, medical, surgical, and palliative care.
Additionally, 35 new consultation rooms will be created to support community and allied health services, Aboriginal health, and medical outpatient care.
The facility will also feature onsite pharmacies and pathology labs. A new 12-bed unit dedicated to mental health will be included as part of the project.
