Emerald Hospital
 |
The Emerald Hospital provides a range of health services to the community, including 24-hours a day, seven days a week emergency department, inpatient and outpatient care. |
 |
The Emerald Hospital has developed a training program in partnership with a local General Practitioner for rural generalist doctors. Six doctors have signed on to undertake the training for their specialist qualifications. This is building a qualified and stable medical workforce for the future. |
 |
Telehealth services are available to link specialist staff at other hospitals via video-conferencing, which means suitable patients no longer have to travel long distances for appointments. |
 |
The Emerald Hospital has undergone an $8 million Rural Rectification Works Project which includes essential fire safety repairs, asbestos removal, and the replacement of the emergency generator and air conditioner chillers. |

Capital works or recent improvements
The Rural and Remote Infrastructure Refurbishment Project works commenced in mid-2013 and focussed on the upgrade of aged and non-compliant infrastructure elements such as power supply, hydraulics, medical gases, fire services, disability access and a minor redesign and refurbishment of the emergency department. These works were completed mid-2014.
