History of Fullarton Private Hospital |
** Fullarton Private Hospital History **
Commissioned in 1950, Fullarton Private Hospital has established a tradition of providing patients with innovative and professional care in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.
Since the acquisition of Fullarton Private Hospital by the Ramsay Health Care in 1998, a range of specialised treatment programs have been introduced, which were developed with input from Psychiatrists, consumers and carers. The highlight of the new programs is the successful Adolescent and Young Adult unit, which has been designed to address the specific needs of young people and the expanded Community program, which includes services for the Elderly. |
