Hilton Health

ABOUT US

Identifying a niche in the healthcare market within the KZN Midlands, Voigts Property Group embraced the challenge to find the perfect solution to the needs of the area by introducing Hilton Health.

After sourcing and acquiring the land, which was ideal in terms of location and accessibility, the long and arduous process of obtaining licenses, environmental studies, feasibility studies and approvals began. Certain healthcare groups were invited to partner in this exciting venture. Life Healthcare Group was successful in being awarded the opportunity.

With a shortage of beds in the local and surrounding hospitals, the idea of developing a new hospital was a welcomed proposition. The Life Hilton is the flagship hospital for Life Healthcare Group.

Life Hilton Private Hospital and Hilton Health together offer integrated practicing, world-class service delivery, collaborative medical care and the newest technologies, creating a convenient health hub for the growing community.

Hilton Health is made up of a high-performing network of multi-disciplinary healthcare providers, who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields, all offering the highest standard of patient-centred care.

"Hilton Health is the commercial component of the Life Hilton Private Hospital. The modern contemporary design of the building reflects a similar aesthetic language to that of the hospital. Both buildings are clearly visible from the N3 highway, therefore requiring a bold and iconic architectural design. The clean lines and simple use of materials stay true to a contemporary look, generating a distinguishable presence in the area."

Why Hilton

Owing to the accessibility from the N3 highway, the position within the Midlands and the excellence in patient care offered by Life Healthcare Group, the healthcare sector was set to develop naturally in the Hilton area. This has taken the form of a health-related services hub, including doctors’ and practitioners’ rooms, allied healthcare services and wellness-related amenities. This development is aptly named Hilton Health – Partnering in Healthcare.

Hilton Area

Hilton is a highly-desirable place to live, with many of the country’s best private schools situated nearby, high levels of economic development and investment, a fair climate, professional opportunities and lifestyle make it a preferred town. This, combined with the recent health sector developments, will encourage a migration of healthcare professionals and business owners, who are looking for a quieter, family-orientated lifestyle. Hilton is fast becoming one of the most exciting commercial and residential development nodes in the province.

Life Hilton Private Hospital

94 bed facility to boost quality healthcare delivery for local community and KwaZulu-Natal province at large.

Life Healthcare Group, one of South Africa’s largest private hospital operators, today (14 September) opened the doors to its newest hospital to date – Life Hilton Private Hospital based in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal. The 94 bed multidisciplinary hospital will enhance Life Healthcare’s patient-care offering in the greater area with five operating theatres and over 40 associated resident specialists.

André Meyer, CEO for the Life Healthcare Group says, “We’re proud to officially open a state-of-the-art hospital and welcome new staff to the Group.

Life Healthcare is committed to delivering unequalled medical care. A combination of quality and clinical excellence with emphasis placed on the personal needs of our patients and their families – that is our focus.”

The substantial investment made in the new hospital is core to the quality and sustainability objectives of the Group, and has been designed with these priorities in mind. With its patient centric approach to healthcare, the new private hospital is a centre of excellence for the Group, focussing on much-needed service offerings like oncology and nephrology.

Improving access and care for the patient

The new Life Hilton Private Hospital is expected to have a major positive impact on the Natal Midlands’ access to quality, private healthcare services, and the effect of high-level expertise found at the new hospital will certainly be felt throughout the KwaZulu-Natal province at large. Local patients will be able to access advanced treatment without having to travel long distances including a 24-hour emergency unit on their doorstep, experience top-quality services with shorter waiting times, enjoy after hours care, and stronger communication through improved health IT innovations.

“Building on the access that our six existing KwaZulu-Natal facilities already offer, Life Healthcare is committed to extending medical care delivery to the area. We have identified a strong need for our services here and chose this location with the goal of making private hospital-based care easily available. Life Hilton Private Hospital reflects our commitment to providing exceptional, patient-centred care in modern facilities, while creating employment for local healthcare professionals,” says Meyer.

Life Hilton Private Hospital will be staffed by a team of experienced medical specialists and qualified nursing staff, led by a dynamic and committed management team. More than 40 specialists, resident or consulting, are available for consultation at the new doctors’ suites.

State of the art oncology treatment

Backed by the support of 11 oncologists from the KZN region, a high tech oncology unit (to be opened mid 2016) will include a cutting-edge radio-oncology device, the Novalis Tx. The Novartis-Tx produces radiation, which enters the patient from the outside and targets the tumour on the inside. It has the technology to make its treatment as accurate as possible, and has an array of imaging tools to ensure precision.

Green facts

Calculations show that the hospital will use 890 MWh less per year to run. That’s roughly the equivalent to 120 houses electrical requirements, which is substantial.

Energy-efficient LED lighting with motion sensors consume considerably less electrical energy and reduce the heat load in the building.

Heat pumps with heat recovery from the air-condition units provide hot water resulting in only a quarter of the electricity demand being required, compared to traditional element based hot water systems.

Hospital facilities include:

• A 94 bed hospital with five theatres
• Theatres are fully equipped and intricate orthopaedic surgery such as knee and hip replacements are performed in state-of-the-art laminar flow theatres
• A six bed intensive care unit, a six bed high care unit and a five bed neonatal ICU
• A maternity and paediatric unit
• 24 hour accident and emergency unit
• Eight station renal dialysis unit
• A radiology unit including CT scanner, MRI scanner and x-ray facilities
• Oncology facility (opening mid 2016) with radio-oncology Novalis Tx unit
