The redevelopment of the Healesville Hospital and Yarra Valley Health Service has meant that people living in the Yarra Ranges have access to an expanded range of services:

• inpatient services (specialist physicians, general medicine and geriatric evaluation and management)
• single and double rooms only, with ensuite bathrooms provided to all inpatient rooms
• brand new operating theatre offering endoscopy, general and gynaecological surgery with visiting Eastern Health specialist consultants, surgeons and anaesthetists
• brand new renal dialysis unit with six chairs
• pathology collection centre
• radiology service
• antenatal and postnatal service (midwife antenatal clinic and domiciliary services post-birth)
• refurbished patient room, suitable for palliative care, with courtyard
• patient lounge and dining area with north-facing views
• increased number of specialist clinics
• refurbished consulting rooms and larger staff workspace
• new paediatric gym
• new on-site rehabilitation kitchen for assessment and rehabilitation and community programs
• new rehabilitation gymnasium and physiotherapy space for community programs and inpatients
• extended hours for the GP service to include evenings, weekends and public holidays, and
• in collaboration with community groups, a community shower for people who are homeless and unable to access a shower will be available.

Overall, the project has delivered a 30 per cent increase in services. The hospital and community health centre is an integrated facility that caters for the current and future needs of the Healesville and Yarra Ranges communities.
