Boroondara Day Surgery, Vision Hospital Group’s latest ophthalmic day hospital located in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn, has officially opened its doors, welcoming both patients and healthcare professionals. Acquired by Vision Hospital Group in mid-2023, the facility has undergone significant refurbishment as part of the group’s commitment to providing top-tier medical services.
Vision Hospital Group, now overseeing 11 day hospitals across Australia, emphasizes its dedication to delivering exceptional healthcare experiences. Dr. Jack Kane, an ophthalmologist from Vision Eye Institute, expressed satisfaction with the smooth operation of the facility, particularly highlighting the specialized ophthalmic nursing team and state-of-the-art facilities that enhance the cataract surgery experience for patients.
The day-to-day operations at Boroondara Day Surgery are under the leadership of Ms. Margarette Cortez, recently appointed as the Director of Nursing (DoN). Bringing nearly a decade of clinical experience in the nursing industry, with a specialization in ophthalmology, Cortez expressed gratitude for the support from Vision Hospital Group’s national team of DoNs and her excitement about taking the reins at Boroondara.
Greg Brown, the General Manager of Day Hospitals at Vision Hospital Group, highlighted the world-class technology and equipment incorporated into Boroondara Day Surgery. He mentioned the facility’s appeal to surgeons and patients seeking a bespoke, high-end experience. Situated in a sought-after inner-city location with proximity to cafes, parks, public transport, and the Yarra River, the hospital boasts a private admission room, spacious operating theatre, on-site central sterile supply department, two-stage recovery area, and multiple consulting rooms.
Brown emphasized the designer features and premium fixtures in reception and patient waiting areas, noting that these elements elevate Boroondara Day Surgery to a new level of excellence.
