CPB Contractors have been appointed to construct a second clinical services building on the Nepean Hospital campus, delivering additional world-class health care services for the Penrith and Blue Mountains communities.
Stage 2 of the Nepean Hospital Redevelopment will seamlessly connect with the 14-storey clinical tower that opened earlier in the year. The state-of-the-art building includes a new intensive care unit, an in-centre renal dialysis unit, medical imaging and nuclear medicine services, more inpatient units and a large and welcoming front of house for the hospital.
Minister for Health Brad Hazzard also announced improved community-based health care in Penrith as part of the Stage 2 redevelopment.
A new community health centre in the heart of Penrith will ensure locals have easy access to integrated health care and mental health services for families and young people.
Consultations are underway and the community is invited to have their say in shaping the new health centre by completing an online survey.
