It will also offer IVF, day surgery, day chemotherapy, radiology, pathology, mental health services and will include four operating rooms and an endoscopy suite.
The hospital will be within the Victorian Government’s Sunshine Health, Wellbeing and Education precinct which includes the Sunshine hospital, the new Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital and a $51 million health teaching and training campus.
