Today
The Baxter House maternity hospital was closed in the late 1990s, being relocated into a redeveloped Dax House and renamed the Bellarine Centre. The psychiatric wards were moved into the former Swanston Street {Primary School which had closed some years earlier. The Geelong Private Hospital took over the empty Baxter House.
The Andrew Love cancer centre was redeveloped during 2006, and a new main entrance was provided to the hospital from Bellarine Street. A new administration office and emergency ward has been constructed on the Ryrie Street side of the hospital.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“The poet is he who can write some pure mythology today without the aid of posterity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If Botticelli were alive today he’d be working for Vogue.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
