Located just three kilometres from the racecourse the world class medical facility benefits from the hands-on management approach of the Roche Family. Ger Roche together with his wife Annette are at the helm whilst son Eoin is the facilities manager, daughter Eadaoin is key to the financial department, Claire is the onsite pharmacist whilst P.J. and Stephan are members of the catering team.
