Deeside Community Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymuned Glannau Dyfrdwy) is a community hospital in Aston Park, Flintshire, Wales. It is managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

History

The hospital, which was commissioned to replace the aging Mancot Royal Hospital,[1][2] was opened by the Queen in 1992.[3] A new rehabilitation unit for elderly people was completed in 2004.[4] The health board were forced to close a ward in 2014 due to staff shortages.[5] Lord Barry Jones opened a new suite of "dementia friendly" facilities in July 2017.[3]
