Colwyn Bay Community Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymuned Bae Colwyn) is a community hospital in Colwyn Bay, Wales. It is managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

History

[edit]

The hospital has its origins in the Colwyn Bay Jubilee Cottage Hospital which was established in 1899 [1] which was built on land donated by Winifred, Countess of Dundonald.[2]

On 14 December 1910, Winifred, Countess of Dundonald was invited to open a new operating theatre.[2]

The present hospital, which was designed by Sidney Colwyn Foulkes and incorporated the latest concepts from the United States, opened as the Colwyn Bay and West Denbighshire Hospital in 1925.[3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and became a community hospital in the 1980s.[1]
