Conwy Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Conwy) was a community hospital in Conwy, Wales. It was managed by the Conwy & Denbighshire NHS Trust.

History[edit]

The hospital had its origins in the Conwy Union Workhouse and Infirmary which was established in 1838.[1] It became the St Mary's and Dolwaen Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as the Conway Hospital for Aged Sick in 1948.[2] After the hospital closed in 2003, the buildings were demolished in 2004 and the site was redeveloped for residential use.[3]
