A group of local doctors established Sherborne Private Hospital, in 1979, as an alternative for the Goulburn Valley.
Ramsay Healthcare purchased Shepparton Private Hospital in 2005, prioritising the people that worked there, the community and the planet.
A firm belief that healthy working relationships lead to positive outcomes for all, laid the foundation for ‘The Ramsay Way’. A culture where courage is applauded when finding new ways to do things and there is a focus on the care of both staff and patients.
The Ramsay slogan “People Caring For People” infiltrates all levels of business and daily operations.
“Whilst we predominantly see patients in the Goulburn Valley, we have patients from Seymour to Southern NSW regions, from Echuca to Yarrawonga,” states CEO Trevor Matheson.
Shepparton Private Hospital and its staff also support GV Health, by meeting demands of pandemic requirements and undertaking public surgeries.
The challenges of the last year also saw the hospital increase support to their teams, by forming a Staff Engagement Group to recognise the efforts of staff.
“During the last COVID outbreak, 91 staff were isolated here. All staff covered extra shifts, did staff grocery runs and ensured patients still received quality care,” said the hospital’s CEO Trevor Matheson.
The first regional Victorian Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMR) apparatus was invested in the past two years, to treat depression, helping patients reduce medication. Orthopaedic equipment was acquired the past year and rehabilitation day programmes consequently expanded.
“We have a comprehensive range of health care services at Shepparton Private Hospital, including orthopaedic, cancer care, plastic surgery, weight loss surgery, investigative procedures, allied health, general medicine and more,” Mr Matheson states.
“We are constantly striving to improve and add services to provide high standard care. GV people do not need to go to Melbourne for superior medical services.”
