Prestatyn Community Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymunedol Prestatyn) was a community hospital in Prestatyn, Wales. It was managed by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

History

[edit]

The hospital was established in a former preparatory school building known as Chatsworth House in the late 1940s.[1] It joined the National Health Service as Chatsworth House Maternity Home in 1948[2] and then became a community hospital in 1973 before finally closing in 2013.[1] The building was demolished and the site redeveloped for residential use in 2015.[3]
