Barry Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cymunedol Y Barri) is a hospital on Colcot Road in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is managed by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.
History
[edit]The hospital has its origins in the accident ward established by the local Nursing Association in a property in Kingsland Crescent in March 1895.[1][2] A purpose built hospital was opened in Wyndham Street in December 1908.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and became Barry Community Hospital in 1973.[1]
The current hospital, which replaced the Barry Community Hospital in Wyndham Street, was completed in 1995.[3] The hospital's minor injury unit reopened after a £240,000 upgrade in May 2015.[4]
