County Community Hospital is a health facility in Saltburn Road, Invergordon, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Highland.
History
The facility has its origins in a naval hospital which was established on the site in 1917.[1][2] Casualties were transported to Invergordon by steam drifter and then to the hospital by train during the First World War.[3] It became an infectious diseases hospital in 1920 and, after being renamed the County Hospital,[4] joined the National Health Service in 1948. After the old hospital became decrepit, a new facility was procured under a private finance initiative contract. The new facility, which was built by Robertson Group at a cost of £8.8 million,[5] opened in October 2005.[6]
