Bon Secours Health System has officially welcomed the first patients to its new €213 million hospital in Ballysimon, Limerick, marking a major milestone for healthcare in the Mid-West.
The phased opening begins with the relocation of the first services, and the opening of the hospital’s new Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory - the first such private facility in the Mid-West. In the coming weeks, further services including surgery and related specialties will transition, with additional specialties such as cardiology, neurology, respiratory medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology and advanced diagnostic imaging to follow in the months ahead.
Adjacent to the hospital, a new Clinical Services Hub will further strengthen patient care, providing cardiology, vascular and neurology diagnostics, along with a cutting-edge outpatient imaging centre in partnership with Alliance Medical. This includes the first PET-CT scanner in the Mid-West, due to become operational in the coming months.
Alan Sharp, Group CEO, Bon Secours Health System, said:
“The opening of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick marks yet another proud milestone for our organisation and for healthcare in Ireland. This €213 million investment reflects our long-term commitment to expand access to high-quality care, supporting medical innovation and creating meaningful employment opportunities in the Mid-West.”
Jason Kenny, CEO of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, added:
“This is a historic day for Limerick and the Mid-West as we welcome our very first patients to this world-class facility. From day one, patients will benefit from access to cutting-edge technology and expert care.”
