Established on 1 October 2009 from the merger of the Hywel Dda NHS Trust, the Pembrokeshire Local Health Board, Ceredigion Local Health Board and Carmarthenshire Local Health Board. The local health board is named in honour of historic south west Wales king Hywel Dda. Hywel Dda University Health Board provides healthcare services to a total population of around 385,615 throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. The headquarters of Hywel Dda is based in Hafan Derwen, St David's Park, Carmarthen, Wales. Hywel Dda University Health Board is the operational name of Hywel Dda Local Health Board.
The former Hywel Dda NHS Trust (Template:Lang-cy) was formed on 1 April 2008[1] replacing Carmarthenshire NHS Trust, Ceredigion & Mid Wales NHS Trust and Pembrokeshire & Derwen NHS Trust.[2]
