The City of Playford is developing a high-tech, smart health hub that will see the expansion of the area surrounding the Lyell McEwin Hospital into an interconnected health precinct featuring tertiary training, research capability, allied health facilities and residential accommodation.

The precinct now includes 'Healthia', a centre for restorative health and wellness, which has been constructed by the ACH Group. The complex contains a mix of commercial, retail and health-oriented services, such as fitness studio and allied health practitioners, who support the 90 care places, tertiary teaching facilities, therapy services, community facilities, as well as mixed accommodation for students, affordable and private housing.
