Ramsay expands hospital network with new day surgery centre in regional NSW
July 18, 2023
Ramsay Health Care has acquired its 74th hospital – Orange Private Hospital in central west NSW – less than two months after the facility went into voluntary administration.
This takeover will allow Ramsay to take on aspects of the hospital’s operations for the ongoing benefit of the community, doctors and employees.
Orange Private Hospital will be rebranded as Ramsay Surgical Centre Orange and will continue to perform surgical procedures in the same location.
Ramsay Surgical Centre Orange will become a short-stay hospital for patients undergoing treatments who do not require an overnight stay.
The site contains operating theatres, recovery areas, a central sterile supply department and pre-admission area – all located on level 4 of the Bloomfield Medical Centre building.
Any patients requiring overnight stays can be treated at the nearby 108-year-old Dudley Private Hospital, also operated by Ramsay Health Care.
CEO of Ramsay Health Care Australia, Carmel Monaghan, said Ramsay has been proud to serve the Orange community since it began operating Dudley Private Hospital almost 20 years ago and contributes $11.5 million to the local economy each year.
CEO of Ramsay Surgical Centre Orange and Dudley Private Hospital, Mandy Rutherford, said the acquisition is an opportunity to combine two groups of healthcare professionals into one collaborative team.
“We look forward to welcoming the former Orange Private Hospital staff and doctors into our Ramsay family and embedding them in our unique culture of ‘people caring for people’,” Ms Rutherford said.
