Exciting news for patients and families navigating Alzheimer’s disease.
10 April 2026
Two emerging treatments, Donanemab and Lecanemab, are offering new possibilities. These infusion therapies work by removing amyloid from the brain, helping to slow progression and extend the time people remain well.
Best results are seen early in the disease, before significant brain cell damage has occurred.
As with all treatments, there are important risks and potential side effects, but many patients are experiencing remarkably positive outcomes.
We’re pleased to share that the Infusion Centre at Delmont Private Hospital is now up and running, providing access to both therapies.
We warmly welcome referrals to the Infusion Centre from patients' treating doctors. Please submit the referral to the attention of Dr Peter Drysdale, consulting@delmonthospital.com.au .

Celebrating International Nurses Day - 12 May 2025
Thank you to our amazing nurses!
Each year on 12 May, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth, we take a moment to celebrate International Nurses Day - and more importantly, to say thank you to the incredible mental health nurses who are the heart of Delmont.
This year's theme, set by the International Council of Nurses is: "Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies." It is a resonant reminder of the vital role nurses play not just in healthcare, but in supporting the wellbeing of entire communities and economies around the world.
At Delmont, we are proud of our mental health nurses. Whether it is through their quiet suppport, active listening, or skilled clinical care, they make a meaningful difference in people's lives - without judgement and with unwavering kindness. Through their dedication, warmth and professionalism, our nurses shape the patient experience and make Delmont the special place it is.
