Healthscope CEO, Greg Horan said “Continuing to invest in improving our hospitals is vital to delivering high quality care. This redevelopment at Knox will allow us to support more doctors and provide great care for more patients.”

Our staff and patients are already benefitting from the new facilities, enhancing our patient’s experience.”
