Site Overview
Logan Hospital is the major health centre for one of the fastest growing regions in the state. We have grown from a 48-bed community hospital in 1990 to a 436-bed1 hospital today; mirroring the rapid growth in population in the Logan region. We provide acute medical; surgical; rehabilitation; maternity; cardiology; orthopaedics; renal and other specialty services for children and adults. As part of our commitment to performing more elective surgery; in early 2014; we opened our eighth surgical theatre. The new theatre has allowed us to perform an average of 12-15 major cases to 40-50 minor operations each week. In late 2014; Logan Hospital opened our doors to a brand new multi-storey building as part of our multi-million dollar expansion project. The first stages of this project included a new co-located adult's and children's emergency department; an expanded children's inpatient ward and a new 24-bed rehabilitation unit. A new cardiac catheter laboratory will also be built; allowing up to 800 local residents with heart conditions to be treated closer to home.
