Builders out finishing touches on Manilla MPS HealthOne

Wednesday, 10 August 2011

Construction of Stage 2 of Manilla Multi Purpose Service (MPS) HealthOne is almost complete.

During August the builders will make the finishing touches to the $19 million development ahead of a community open day on Saturday 10 September.

The new facility will provide the Manilla community with a fully integrated ‘one stop shop’ where residents can access a wide range of health services, from GP services and preventative healthcare to acute services, all in one location.

The second stage of the Manilla MPS HealthOne facility will provide:

• New front entrance with covered drop-off point
• Large sealed car park at the front of the facility
• 12 new acute care rooms
• A new birthing suite, with in-room bath
• New permanent two-bay emergency department, with more private entrance
• Clinic rooms for Manilla GPs and visiting specialists
• Treatment rooms and work areas for Community Health services
• A large, secure landscaped central courtyard
• A four bedroom self-contained staff accommodation complex

The new front entrance to the new health service will be available for use by the community by mid-September. In the meantime, community members can continue to access service through the gateway at the end of Court St.

If any community members have questions about the redevelopment please call Manilla MPS Manager Tim Whyte on 6785 4000.
