Add your name: we need a new greenfield hospital site in Albury.

Last year, I lost my dad to a diagnosis that came too late. Sadly, this isn’t a unique story in the regions.

On a bad day, Albury hospital is almost 100 beds short. There’s a severe shortage of dialysis chairs. Elective surgery waitlists have stretched to three years. They wouldn’t get away with it in Sydney.

Scattered, ad-hoc new facilities and upgrades across a sprawling “campus” are not the answer.

Only a new hospital on a new site can meet the long-term needs of the region. We need to build it once and build it right.

Will you add your name? Win or lose, I’ll take this petition to Canberra and deliver it to the Health Minister.
