The Victorian Government is investing more than $800 million to build community hospitals in major growth areas including the City of Whittlesea.
The City of Whittlesea Community Hospital will be a small public hospital providing a range of important everyday health services including chronic disease management, chemotherapy, and women’s health.
The project will help take pressure off nearby major hospitals, including Northern Hospital Epping, and enable more people to manage their health needs closer to home. Strong links to specialists, community health providers and social support services will ensure more seamless follow-up treatment and support for those who require complex care.
A new development on a new site, the City of Whittlesea Community Hospital will be managed by Northern Health.
