Gravesham Community Hospital is a community hospital in Gravesend in the borough of Gravesham in Kent.

History

[edit]

Plans for the hospital were approved in 2000, for a new community hospital to be built of the site of the former Gravesend and North Kent Hospital, which stood on the site since 1854.[1] The old hospital closed in 2004, and construction for the new hospital started in 2005, and opened in June 2006.[2]

Services

[edit]

Services include an urgent treatment centre run by Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust and radiology (x-ray) and outpatient orthopaedic and paediatric services run by Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust.[3]
