Cheshunt Community Hospital

Cheshunt community hospital underwent extensive redevelopment during 2005 to double the size of the existing building and provide more health services for the benefit of the local community.

Operation from the new building started at the beginning of February 2006 and the whole site opened in June 2006.                

The following services operate out of the extended hospital: podiatry, increased physiotherapy, ultrasound service, and a heart failure service.

The Council secured additional car parking space in the vicinity of the hospital, increasing the provision to 44 spaces.

Minor injuries unit at Cheshunt community hospital

The board of NHS Hertfordshire decided to replace the urgent care centre at Cheshunt community hospital with a minor injuries unit (MIU) and this opened in October 2011. Unlike the urgent care centre this unit will not be a pilot, and thus there is greater security for continued provision. MIUs are currently provided at hospitals all over the country, including at Bishop’s Stortford and St. Albans in Hertfordshire.

Signposting Cheshunt community hospital

The Council has installed directional signs in the southern part of the Borough to indicate the location of the Cheshunt community hospital so there is an increased awareness of the facility.
