Community hospitals and health centres
Below you can find quick links to our community hospitals and to our key health centres
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust runs the four community hospitals in Shropshire. These are important parts of the local communities in Shropshire and often mean that local people can get the health advice and care they need in a location much closer to their home, than having to travel to larger acute (main) hospitals, which are often further away.
