About Us
Meadowbrook Health Centre will provide a new Minor Injury and Illness Clinic and a Women’s Health Outpatient Clinic. The Minor Injury and Illness Clinic will offer free, walk‑in treatment for conditions not anticipated to be life‑threatening. It will operate from 8 am to 10 pm, seven days a week, and is designed to help take pressure off Logan Hospital's emergency department for patients who do not require care in an acute hospital setting.
The Women’s Health Outpatient Centre will provide a contemporary and convenient facility for local women attending antenatal and gynaecological appointments and tests.
