The Jubilee Hospital is a community hospital in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Grampian.

History[]

The hospital, which was financed by public subscription to honour the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, was designed by Robert Duncan and opened in November 1889.[1][2] It served as a Red Cross hospital during the First World War.[1] An isolation unit for treating people with tuberculosis was added in 1925 and a day case unit was added in 1938.[1] After tuberculosis had been largely eradicated, the isolation unit was converted into a maternity unit in 1944.[1] A health centre was added in 1965.[1]

In August 2014 the hospital was used as a safe refuge for residents of local care homes in the wake of Hurricane Bertha.[3]

Services[]

The hospital has a small x-ray department, with a full-time radiographer, who also provides an electrocardiography and pregnancy ultrasound scanning service.[4] There is a 24-hour minor injury unit.[5]
