History

Constructed in 1964 by a local surgeon Dr Harry Segal the hospital was initially built as a highset building and was one of the first purpose built private surgical hospitals

The first stage on the top floor consisted a 33 bed ward operating theatres for major and minor surgery kitchen and support service The second stage of construction under this level included a further 44 beds on the ground floor This work commenced within only six months of completion of the initial works and due to some clever planning was able to be completed without impacting on the hospital functioning above

Over the years the hospital has been upgraded and expanded to meet the needs of the Sutherland Shire community and now boats a range of specialities and services 2011 saw the completion of Stage 1a of the new development with the addition of an Endoscopy Procedural Room a new Operating Theatre Rehabilitation Gym and Hydrotherapy pool

Kareena Private continued developments in 2012 with the expansion of the Rehabilitation Gym and the redevelopment of the staff lunch room conference room and courtyard The Front Office area Reception Desk and Lobby also received substantial renovations
