Redevelopment

In 2002 LMH commenced its $314 million, [1] three-part redevelopment program as part of the State Government's modernisation of the state's health system. In October 2003, Premier Mike Rann and Health Minister Lea Stevens opened new maternity, obstetrics and gynaecology sections, as well as a new women's and children's area. [2]

Stage A of the hospital's redevelopment was completed in 2004 and replaced much of the hospital's core clinical and support infrastructure. In April 2005, LMH opened six new operating theatres, a new Emergency Department, new medical imaging facilities and women's health consulting and treatment facilities.

Key elements of the Stage B redevelopment, include a 50-bed, acute and aged care mental health facility, a Radiation Oncology unit, enhanced medical and palliative services, the establishment of an extended emergency care unit, day surgery and ambulatory services and the expansion of support services. In August 2008, new pathology, oncology and gastroenterology units were opened. [3]

Stage C of the hospital's redevelopment, included a multi-level staff and visitor car park (completed early 2010) and an additional 96 inpatient beds. Other improvements in the redevelopment included a helipad facility, teaching and research spaces, a new cardiac catheter laboratory, a second CT scanner and installation of a new MRI machine. [1]
