We’re building a new satellite renal dialysis unit at Capricorn Coast Hospital and Health Service, Yeppoon.
The unit will provide access to care closer to home. Patients from Yeppoon and surrounds will no longer need to travel to Rockhampton Hospital for life-sustaining treatment.
Patient care will be supported by the Kidney health service, based at Rockhampton Hospital, with expert and dedicated renal nurses.
The $10.37 million project includes a new satellite renal dialysis building with eight treatment spaces, clinical and support spaces, with separate funding in order to upgrade the air-conditioning system for Capricorn Coast Hospital and Health Service.
The project is part of the Queensland Health Big Build. Queensland Health will deliver the Queensland Health and Hospitals Plan. The department leads the tendering and contracting of building contractors and consultants of all major health projects.
