‘Face-Lift’ for QE Health
QE Health is getting a ‘facelift’
thanks to support from the
Rotorua Trust and other funding
organisations.
Peter Sharplin, general manager
of QE Health, said funding from
the Trust was used for the first
step of a programme to give the
exterior of the hospital a ‘facelift’,
which is absolutely vital to
get QE Health back to where it
should be.
“We started with the most
obvious and noticeable façade
of the building facing the Village
Green.”
“As a result, rather than a crusty
old building, QE Health is now looking more like a hospital
and has renewed architectural
interest.”
“I believe this is very important,
especially as there are very few
public buildings of the 1940s era
left in Rotorua.”
“QE looks good and is getting
back to where it belongs as an
important historical icon and
integral part of the central city.”
“The people of Rotorua can again
be proud of it and equally proud
to use the many services we
provide.”
A world leader in residential
rehabilitation services, QE Health
provides a range of healthcare facilities which are open to the
general public.
Mr Sharplin said the hospital’s
core role was providing
rehabilitation services to patients
with severe arthritis and other
chronic disorders.
“We are a national referral centre
for patients who are unable to
manage their condition despite
the best efforts of regional
services.”
“Rotorua is a natural place for
QE Health. The geothermal spas
in our city have been providing
healing for over a century and
QE is the direct successor to the
original health spa, The Rotorua Bath House. The geothermal
water found in Rotorua is
abundant in minerals and Spa at
QE incorporates this water into
the health treatments available,
which include a soaking pool, Aix
massage, mud and mud bath and
mud pack treatments.”
“In addition, we offer local
services including physiotherapy,
psychological counselling,
occupational therapy and
orthotics.
