The San is the largest single employer in the Hornsby-Kuring-gai Council area. Approximately 2,000 staff and over 600 accredited medical practitioners care for more than 45,000 inpatients and 155,000 outpatients annually and over 2,000 babies are delivered each year. Emergency Care admits over 20,000 patients each year making it NSW’s largest and busiest private Hospital Emergency Department. Offering acute surgical, medical and obstetric care including complex cardiac and orthopaedic procedures, the San also has cutting-edge, acute-care facilities, including 12 operating theatre suites, 3 state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories, urology lasers and Australia’s first dual source CT scanner installed in San Radiology.
