THE VALLEY PRIVATE HOSPITAL
HEALTHCARE overtake Sydney ’ s population by the year 2030 – it ’ s a faster growing city .”
One of the major growth corridors in Melbourne has been the southeastern suburbs , where as it turns out , is where The Valley Private Hospital is located . To continue to be able to serve the growing population , the hospital has recently undergone major renovations with the inclusion of state-of-the-art technology , an aesthetic uplift and continuous staff training .
A $ 30 Million Investment “ My conscious decision was to differentiate ourselves in the market and improve our competitive positioning ,” said Henderson .
For the past 25 years , The Valley Private Hospital had been fairly dormant in terms of investments , lacking vision . As a smaller-sized private hospital with 120 beds and four intensive care unit rooms , the hospital had the fundamentals to operate but not to exceed . When Henderson joined the hospital three and-a-half years ago , things began to change .
“ When I took over as CEO of The Valley , Healthe Care made a major decision to reinvest in redeveloping and expanding ,” said Henderson . “ So we totally redeveloped The Valley inside and out . It was a total makeover and we brought [ the hospital ] up to contemporary standards .”
While an aesthetic uplifting was a positive transformation , Henderson decided to take it one step further .
“ We took the decision to invest in technology and position ourselves strongly to increase our market share and be competitive ,” said Henderson .
Innovative Technology The Valley Private Hospital can say that it is the leader in carrying the most adept pieces of hospital technology , having acquired top-of-the-line equipment before local competitors and even surrounding countries .
“ For what was a smallish private hospital , we were certainly breaking new ground with firsts and leading technologies ,” said Henderson .
