Box Hill Hospital is a teaching hospital in Melbourne. It is one of the seven hospitals that are governed within the Eastern Health network which provides health care services across the Eastern metropolitan area of Victoria.
The state-of-the-art building, known as Building A, provides a much larger emergency department, 10 new operating theatres (with an 11th for future expansion), a new intensive care unit, improved women’s health services and expanded services for cardiology, cancer and renal patients. It will include a total of 621 beds (an increase of more than 200) and more than 200 additional public car parking spaces.
As part of the redevelopment, there has been substantial work completed on the existing hospital, now known as Building B, increasing its consulting and support capacity. There is seamless thoroughfare between the two buildings, with a wide, contemporary open space on the ground floor connecting Building A to Building B.
