Project
The Point Cook Community Hospital will be a small public hospital providing important everyday health services. The project will help take pressure off nearby major hospitals, including Footscray and Sunshine hospitals, and enable more people to manage their health needs closer to home.
The Point Cook Community Hospital will be managed by Western Health.
The site infrastructure allows for a range of services to be delivered once fully operational, including
- diagnostic services, including pathology and imaging
- pharmacy services
- public dental services
- chronic disease management
- mental health services
- alcohol and other drug support services
- community-based palliative care, chemotherapy and rehabilitation
- general practice including primary care nursing
- dialysis and support for both home patients and those that
- receive centre-based dialysis
- women’s health
- family and early childhood services
