More than $31M has been invested in facilities and equipment for the state-of-the-art medical landmark.
“We are so excited to be opening the doors of our state-of-the-art facility to the people of the Central Coast,” hospital CEO Laura Barnett said.
Located in the fast-growing area of Kanwal, directly opposite Wyong Public Hospital, Tuggerah Lakes Private occupies a prime location on the corner of the Pacific Highway and Craigie Avenue.
“The construction project undertaken over the past 18 months has involved a multitude of local suppliers, community leaders, school children and doctors,” Ms Barnett said.
“It is truly a hospital built by local people, for local people.”
Part of the Healthe Care Australia group, Tuggerah Lakes Private Hospital will complement the range of private surgical, medical, mental health and rehabilitation services currently on offer further down the Central Coast, at the group’s other established hospitals – Gosford Private Hospital and Brisbane Waters Private Hospital.
The new hospital will create up to 50 jobs and has already attracted a huge amount of interest from residents, with more than 300 applications received for the positions that have been advertised so far.
Tuggerah Lakes Private is also set to attract high quality specialists and surgeons from across the Coast, Sydney and Newcastle, and will include three operating theatres, day and inpatient beds, specialist consulting rooms, Pathology and Radiology services, and an on-site café.
It will cater for multiple specialties, including: Orthopaedics; Ear, Nose and Throat; Gastroenterology; General Surgery; Colorectal; Gynaecology; Urology; Plastic Surgery; Vascular Surgery and Dental.
