The Swan Hill District Health - sub-acute care services project aimed to provide the following benefits:
Improved rehabilitation
The new inpatient services play a critical role in providing rehabilitation therapies that support greater independence. They aim to enable patients the ability to continue living at home.
Better management of illness
People with complex medical needs are supported to better manage their illness or injury at home, preventing future hospital re-admissions.
Compassionate end-of-life care
The new palliative care beds allow the Swan Hill facility to provide compassionate end-of-life care for those with terminal illness and support for their families, closer to home.
Improved pre and post-operative care
New perioperative equipment means patients can enjoy better health outcomes. It will also mean the hospital can continue to meet increasing demand for local endoscopies.
