The Cancer Outpatients Appeal of Milton Ulladulla Inc.
In November 2003, The Cancer Outpatients Appeal of Milton Ulladulla Inc. was formed to raise funds to build and equip a cancer service centre adjacent to Milton Ulladulla Hospital to meet the growing needs of cancer patients, their families and carers in the Southern Shoalhaven.
When the original cottage onsite burned down in March 2005 alternative plans were drawn up to build an entirely new centre combining the flavour of Milton's heritage streetscape with a spacious and modern treatment facility.
The cottage's front section accommodates two consult rooms, a cancer information library, wig library, kitchen and community meeting room equipped with video conferencing facilities. The central area houses a reception and courtyard garden which lead to the modern rear section, comprising the chemotherapy treatment room, nurses station and clean and dirty utility rooms.
Construction commence in August 2007 and the Cancer Services Centre was completed in June 2008 and handed over to the South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Area Health Service to provide a full range of chemotherapy and cancer support services.
The Cancer Services Centre is the result of an outstanding fundraising effort by the Southern Shoalhaven community, corporate and business donations and a grant from the Australian Government.
