Thousands of people attended the Community Open Day at the new $723.3 million Tweed Valley Hospital last month, ahead of its opening in May.

More than 4,500 people attended the open day, with visitors embracing the chance to explore some of the key hospital facilities and services, including the emergency department, maternity services, cancer services and the outpatient department.

When the hospital opens on Tuesday 14 May it will provide a number of new and enhanced clinical services including interventional cardiology, radiotherapy as part of integrated cancer care, satellite medical imaging within the emergency department, and enhanced surgical services.

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said it was a great opportunity for the local community to explore the hospital before it opens.

“As Minister for Regional Health, one of my key priorities is to improve access to healthcare for our regional communities and I am really excited we’re getting closer to opening this facility which will provide a massive boost to healthcare in Northern NSW,” Minister Park said.

The new hospital will open at 8am on Tuesday 14 May and the existing Tweed Hospital will close.

Northern NSW Health is advising that anyone who requires medical treatment from 8am onwards on 14 May should present to the new Tweed Valley Hospital at 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen.
