WE ARE A MAJOR HOSPITAL IN ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING REGIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PATIENTS. Located in Perth’s northern suburbs, JHC is the largest hospital in the region, has one of the busiest emergency departments in Australia and provides several state-wide services, including peritonectomy and bariatrics. In addition, we provide a comprehensive range of acute and non-acute services including emergency, intensive care, maternity, paediatrics, neonatal care, cancer, surgical, aged care, rehabilitation and mental health services. While JHC is managed by Australia’s largest private healthcare operator, Ramsay Health Care, we have a longstanding public contract under which we treat public patients on behalf of the State Government. With the rapidly growing population in our catchment area tipped to increase 100 per cent in the next 20 years, we have our work cut out for us. To continue to meet community needs, a major redevelopment of the hospital is being planned. At the time of publication, the Government had committed $167 million to fund: 90 new public hospital beds 30 new mental health beds Eight new operating theatres An expansion of the emergency department An urgent care clinic A medihotel A six-bed stroke unit Additional car parking Over the coming years JHC will develop its capacity to care for more complex patients closer to home, in line with the WA Department of Health’s Clinical Services Framework (CSF). The CSF suggests that ultimately JHC will be upgraded to include more tertiary services to respond to the significant population growth in the northern suburbs.
