First stage of Milton Ulladulla Hospital upgrades complete
Works to upgrade the Community Cancer Services Centre at Milton Ulladulla Hospital are now complete, delivering new and enhanced facilities for the South Coast community.
The Community Cancer Services Centre forms part of the NSW Government’s $7.5 million investment to improve health infrastructure at Milton Ulladulla Hospital and support the region’s current and future healthcare needs.
The upgrades include:
- A treatment room with an ensuite
- An extra consultation room
- A new welcoming reception area.
The new centre has been designed to deliver fit-for-purpose clinical treatment spaces that better support the delivery of cancer care throughout a patient’s treatment journey.
The inclusion of a single room with an ensuite in the Community Cancer Services Centre will enable Milton-Ulladulla Hospital to better support local patients who require isolation or additional privacy during treatment, reducing the need for these patients to travel to Shoalhaven Hospital for care.
The new spaces are expected to be operational in the coming months, following operational commissioning.
Works to deliver upgraded medical imaging services at the hospital is progressing, which will include a new CT scanner and X-Ray machine. Expected to be completed mid-year, the upgrades will provide the community with access to enhanced diagnostic services closer to home.
