Wyong Hospital Emergency Department has been moved to the new hospital building (Block H).
Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD) is seeking to remind locals that Emergency has moved location as patients continued to present to the old building.
Upon arrival at Wyong Hospital, follow the red emergency signs to the Emergency Department.
A patient drop-off zone and 15-minute parking is available outside.
Redevelopment of Wyong Hospital, with a new six-storey building, was completed last July.
The new hospital comprises a larger Emergency Department, an intensive care unit, a psychiatric emergency care centre, a paediatric unit, an expanded medical imaging department and a medical assessment unit, as well as additional inpatient beds with future expansion space.
Refurbishment of the existing building is ongoing, with no confirmed date for completion or details of what exactly will be housed there.
It is believed there will be larger operating theatre capacity with the construction of one new theatre, three new recovery beds, as well as new office spaces and storage, a medical day unit and an expanded transit lounge.
Parliamentary Secretary for Central Coast Adam Crouch said wen the rebuild was announced that the new and expanded facilities would provide first class health care services to the northern suburbs.
“The new emergency department has also been planned with additional capacity for growth to meet the predicted future increase in demand,” Crouch said.
