The\u202f$95 million redevelopment of Temora Hospital has reached a major milestone, with the first concrete slab poured for the modern health facility that will bring all services under the one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It marks the first of eight concrete pours that will take place over the coming months, which will form the footprint of the eastern wing of the new hospital building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once complete, the redevelopment will deliver modern health facilities and upgraded services for Temora and surrounding communities, enhancing access to high quality healthcare closer to home, now and into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The community will benefit from new and expanded services, including a purpose-built operating theatre and procedure room in the new perioperative suite, along with an expanded medical imaging unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the first time, the hospital will offer a CT service, as well as a new ultrasound service, significantly improving local access to diagnostic imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The redevelopment will also include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The existing staff dining room rotunda at the rear of the current hospital will also be incorporated and repurposed as a new courtyard space for staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the concrete slabs pours now underway, the building will soon begin to take shape, with several structural elements to be installed in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new hospital is being delivered in stages at the existing hospital site with hospital services continuing to operate, and every effort being made to minimise impacts to patients.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
