Description
Monash Medical Centre Clayton is one of the States major teaching and referral hospitals and is the largest within the Southern Health providing specialist care to the States southeast
The Monash Medical Centre was formed in 1987 as the result of the amalgamation of three preexisting hospitals the Queen Victoria Medical Centre Prince Henrys Hospital and Moorabbin Hospital
Its creation was a response to the great demographic changes which have occurred in Melbourne over the past decade and part of a broader plan to enhance services to meet the health care needs of the next century
In 1995 it joined with Dandenong Hospital Kingston Centre Sandringham amp District Memorial Hospital and Hampton Rehabilitation Hospital to form the Southern Health Care Network In July 2000 the organisation changed to become Southern Health Victorias largest Metropolitan Health Service Sandringham Hospital is now part of Bayside Health
Clayton Campus focuses on medical services requiring complex and multidisciplinary activity and significant technological support The Moorabbin Campus has developed as a less intensive hospital offering a range of services including elective and shortstay care with a strong emphasis on Womens Health Radiotherapy is now offered at Moorabbin through the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute with additional cancer services also offered at the site
The Medical Centre cares for people of all ages and most illnesses whether its a child with leukaemia a middle aged man with heart disease or a pregnant woman with an at risk pregnancy No other hospital in Victoria provides the same range and depth of service
