A major expansion project should prove a shot in the arm for local healthcare, owners of Grace Hospital, Evolution Healthcare and Southern Cross Healthcare, announced recently.
This ‘significant commitment,’ funded by a multi-million dollar investment, will enhance the hospital’s capacity, says Evolution Healthcare Group CEO and Grace Hospital Board chair, Simon Keating.
“We are considering how best to meet the needs of this burgeoning area, including through additional theatres.
“The development project will also generate a variety of job opportunities during both the construction and operational phases, boosting the local economy and providing valuable services to the community.”
The two healthcare companies will partner with leading doctors to deliver the project. This collaboration will further strengthen the Oropi hospital’s ability to offer more advanced care, improved patient outcomes and a seamless, patient-centred approach, Southern Cross Healthcare CEO, Chris White, adds.
“The continued development of Grace Hospital demonstrates our dedication to enhancing healthcare facilities in the Bay of Plenty region,” he says. “We will continue to play a vital role in the wellbeing of the community by providing exceptional medical services. We look forward to working with local partners, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders to bring this vision to life.”
Evolution Healthcare and Southern Cross Healthcare will provide more details about this project as soon as they are confirmed.
