The $65.19 million Mount Isa Hospital redevelopment will improve health service access, provide an environment that supports contemporary models of care, and improve patient facilities and staff amenities.
Extensive construction and redevelopment has seen the construction of a new outpatients centre, oral health and mental health facilities, and upgrades to the existing medical and surgical ward.
The emergency department was relocated into a purpose built facility with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. This environment will strengthen models of care and enhance patient flow providing more efficient and safer quality-of-care.
The new regional cancer care unit has greater capability to support increased cancer services throughout the North West Hospital and Health Service and will allow patients to be treated locally. Telehealth has further enabled increased access for remote clients and families to cancer care services.
