The structure for Nepean Hospital’s new Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Unit is now complete, marking a significant milestone for the project.
The completion of the design phase for the palliative care unit at Nepean Hospital paves the way for the tender process to appoint a building contractor to commence next year.
Eleven-year-old Charlie Jancso from Wentworth Falls has been named winner of the "Budding Builder" competition after constructing an impressive replica of the Nepean Hospital buildings.
Led by award winning artist Vipoo Srivilasa, the “Power Healer Superhero Project” brings community together over six drawing workshops to explore the healing power of stories, experiences and imagination. The drawings will be collated by Mr Srivilasa into a design to be featured in the arrival staircase leading to the main entrance.
The artist impression showcases the new unit, which will feature contemporary palliative care bedrooms with ensuites, communal areas, meeting spaces and flexible outdoor areas.
The builders of the future from Penrith and surrounds are encouraged to get involved in Stage 2 of the NSW Government's $1 billion Nepean Hospital Redevelopment which is transforming healthcare in western Sydney.
Young people across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains will soon have access to a dedicated Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) inpatient unit with construction under way for the new facility.
