In 2015, Healthe Care identified the opportunity to establish the first private hospital in Robina’s rapidly growing health precinct. After construction on a greenfield site, Healthe Care’s 17th hospital, Robina Private Hospital, has now opened its doors!
The new 90 bed hospital is directly across the road from the public Robina Hospital and comprises a mix of private mental health and medical services for inpatients, day patients and outpatients. It is the first Healthe Care hospital in Queensland to provide medical services, in addition to mental health.
Robina Private Hospital offers 60 private mental health inpatient beds along with private services for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, youth and young adult mental illness, older persons’ mental health concerns and perinatal mood disorders.
Patients with a mental health diagnosis often have additional medical comorbidities so the hospital offers a 30 bed general medical ward with services for general medicine, geriatric medicine, renal medicine and endocrinology. It allows visiting physicians, including geriatricians, to take an integrated general health approach to the delivery of care.
Anna Styles-Tape, appointed Chief Executive Officer and Director of Nursing brings with her 19 years’ experience in senior management and executive roles across public, private and not-for-profit hospital sectors. For the past ten years, she has been Director of Clinical Services at Healthe Care’s Lingard Private Hospital in Merewether, NSW. Anna in her short time with Robina has been instrumental in completing the commissioning of the service in readiness for opening.
The Hospital currently has six Psychiatrists and six Physicians credentialed to Robina Private Hospital. Dr Michael Hagan and Dr Penny King head up the Hospital’s mental health services as Medical Director and Director of Older Persons’ Psychiatry, respectively. Both have relocated from Healthe Care’s Currumbin Clinic.
