Event to celebration completion of Whtiby Hospital refurbishment
The redevelopment cost £13m
The completion of the £13 million refurbishment at Whitby Community Hospital is being marked with a celebration event.
It will be held at Whitby Pavilion on Monday 3rd October between 1pm and 3pm.
Contractors, BAM, have been at the site since March 2020, with the main tower block opening in October 2021.
Plans to redevelop Whitby Hospital were first explored by NHS Property Services and NHS Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (now Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board) in 2014, as part of a wider ‘Fit 4 the Future’ vision. Their aim was to transform community services, to deliver sustainable health and social care for Whitby and the surrounding areas.
The lead provider at the hospital is currently Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. Together with their Trust Charity, Health Stars, the organisation says it has continuously worked with community engagement groups to ensure the hospital is not only fit for purpose, but truly meets the needs of the communities they serve.
Anyone who has been involved with the project is encouraged to join the event. There will be time for celebration with tea and cake, an exhibition documenting the hospital’s history, and an official project closing ceremony live from the hospital. Guests will also have a chance to share their own messages of thanks and memories of the project.
The invitation is open to the public, but please note that tickets are limited and must be booked in advance. Tickets will not be available on the door.
