The Maryborough Campus of Maryborough District Health Service provides both Acute and Aged Care services enabling a comprehensive health service delivery to the community. These services include:

Pre-Admission Clinic
The pre-admission clinic is for elective surgery patients to attend prior to their surgery.  It is the ideal time to uncover potential medical problems which could delay surgery.  It is also the patient’s opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns about hospital procedures or their surgery, and plan for their return home after treatment. 

In 2005/2006 1042 patients attended the pre-admission clinic. 

Post Acute Care
Supports patient’s recuperation after a hospital episode, via the provision of individually tailored packages of community based care services.  The program promotes health and independence whilst providing a vital link to ongoing community support. 

In 2005/2006 194 patients received services after discharge through the post acute care program.
 
Acute Medical/Surgical/Maternity (Amherst ward)
Amherst ward provides inpatient care for medical, surgical, obstetric, haemodialysis and palliative care patients. The ward is staffed by an experienced team of nursing staff with a strong commitment to high standards of clinical care.

Theatre/CSSD/Day Surgery
The Maryborough campus offers a broad range of surgical services to the community through both local and visiting surgeons.
