History
North Eastern Hospital History
Although our HOSPITAL appears as one large complex there are in fact two specialty areas THE NORTH EASTERN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL INC And THE NORTH EASTERN COMMUNITY NURSING HOME INC
Each entity has its own Board of Management although management of the Nursing Home has been vested by agreement with the Hospital Board
Both the North Eastern Community Hospital and the North Eastern Community Nursing Home were officially opened on the 16th September 1973 They were built on land donated by the Campbelltown and Payneham Councils after several years of negotiations and hard work by a dedicated group of people interested in the local community
Originally the Hospital started with forty three 43 general medical surgical and maternity beds and fiftysix 56 nursing home beds Almost immediately the need for additional nursing home beds became apparent and an extension of the existing wards was necessary Further additions have been made over the years as the complex became busier bringing the totals now to 60 Acute Hospital Beds and 68 Nursing Home beds
Today our modern 68 bed hospital includes an 8 Day Beds and Private Room accommodation NECH has 2 Operating Theatres Gastroenterology Procedure Room and specialises in General Surgery Medical Obstetrics Orthopaedics Laparoscopic Surgery Gynaecology and Plastics The complex also houses Consulting Rooms for visiting specialists Pathology Radiology and Podiatry Services
In July 1985 the North Eastern Community Hospital and the North Eastern Community Nursing Home were first awarded full Accreditation by the Australian Council on Hospital Standards in recognition of high standards of patient care and services This is professional and national recognition awarded to health care facilities that meet defined standards The complex has been fully accredited since that time and maintains a philosophy of Quality care and Services in all areas All staff are expected to participate in the Quality Improvement Programme to ensure present standards are maintained
