Edward Hain Hospital is a health facility in Albany Terrace, St Ives, Cornwall, England. It is managed by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

History

[edit]

The facility was commissioned as a memorial to Captain Edward Hain,[a] who had died in the First World War.[1] It was established by converting a large private property in Albany Terrace and it opened in 1920.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] It closed temporarily due to fire safety issues in 2016 but then re-opened in 2019 as part of a pilot programme to provide facilities for local people who have recently been discharged from hospital.[3]
