Cardigan and District Community Hospital (Template:Lang-cy) was a community hospital in Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales. It was managed by Hywel Dda University Health Board.
History
The building was originally a private house known as "The Priory" which was designed by John Nash and completed in 1789.[1][2] It was converted into a hospital, based on designs by John Teifion James Williams, and re-opened in March 1922.[1] A new outpatients department was opened by Dame Margaret Lloyd-George in September 1923.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and the interior was completely rebuilt in the early 1960s.[1] It closed to inpatients in 2013.[3]
After outpatient services were transferred to Cardigan Integrated Health Centre, it closed completely on 10 December 2019.[4] The future of the site is under discussion.[5][6]
