Llangollen Community Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymunedol Llangollen) was a community hospital in Llangollen, Wales. It was managed by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
History
The hospital was completed in April 1876[1] and was extended in 1884.[2] Soldiers suffering from gas, gangrene and gunshot wounds were treated in the hospital during the First World War.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and it was extended to include physiotherapy and out-patient departments in 1958.[2] It became a community hospital in the 1980s.[3] After the hospital closed in March 2013,[2] the building was demolished and the site was redeveloped for residential use in 2016.[4]
