Another year of progress for Shoalhaven Hospital Redevelopment
This year has been a transformative year for the Shoalhaven Hospital Redevelopment.
In March, we celebrated a key milestone - the topping out ceremony, which marked construction of the new Acute Services Building reaching the highest point.
Since then, the project has continued to advance, with highlights including the installation of the rooftop helipad, unveiling the hospital’s new name - Shoalhaven Memorial Hospital, and significant progress on the Arts in Health program.
We extend our sincere thanks to all staff and stakeholders for your expertise and feedback.
Your contributions are shaping facilities that will serve the Shoalhaven community for generations to come.
