This year marks a significant milestone for Nepean Private Hospital as it celebrates 25 years of delivering outstanding healthcare to the Greater Penrith and Blue Mountains communities.
Established in 2000 to replace the long-standing Jamison Private Hospital near the Nepean River (which had served the local area since 1969), Nepean Private has grown steadily over the years. A $37.7m redevelopment in 2023 saw the addition of new operating theatres, upgraded facilities including a modern Day of Surgery Admissions area and additional consulting suites further enhancing patient care.
Today, Nepean Private has 109 beds and 11 theatres, including two shelled theatres for future expansion. The hospital offers surgical and medical services, including Orthopaedics, Cardiology, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, General Surgery, Ears Nose and Throat, Urology, Vascular and Plastics.
Not only has the hospital cared for more than 300,000 patients undergoing procedures, it has also been a special place for many families, with the much-loved maternity unit delivering almost 20,000 babies.
Nepean Private continues to invest in advanced medical technology, including cutting-edge robotic systems over the years such as Da Vinci and ROSA. It was the first hospital in Australia to introduce the ApolloKnee, a specialist orthopaedic robot that support knee replacements.
Many of the hospital’s staff have deep roots in the community, with some having worked at Jamison Private before the transition.
“It’s amazing how much it has changed over the years! I was a ward clerk in Jamison maternity, and I still work at Nepean Private now,” shared Admin Assistant Anne Parkes.
Reflecting on the hospital’s journey, General Manager Jay Jiang said, “It’s an honour to lead such an exceptional facility. I’m incredibly proud of our dedicated staff and doctors, who continue to deliver exceptional first-class care.”
“Jamison Hospital had a rich history filled with remarkable stories. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of Nepean Private as we continue our tradition of providing first-class patient care to our local community.”
