Ysbyty Penrhos Stanley (English: Penrhos Stanley Hospital) is a health facility in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales. It is managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
History[]
The facility has its origins in the Holyhead Workhouse Infirmary at Black Bridge on the north-west part of Salt Island which opened in 1852.[1] This became the Valley Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Valley Hospital in 1948.[1] Patients were transferred from Stanley Sailors' Hospital when it closed in 1987.[2] The current facility was built on Penrhos Beach Road on the south-east part of Salt Island, just under a mile from the old hospital, and opened as Ysbyty Penrhos Stanley in 1996.[3] A four-bed hospice unit was created in an unused ward within the hospital in 2019.[4]
