Wellbeing

We fund and manage the unique Ernest Gardiner Day Hospital, which provides a high level of specialised care to patients referred to it by General Practitioners.

Free at the point of use, yet without the benefit of NHS funding, the hospital receives patients who live in Letchworth Garden City or Baldock or who are registered with Doctors whose surgeries are based in either of the towns.

The Day Hospital is supported by the League of Friends, an independent charity (Registered No. 289018), which raises funds to purchase the equipment used by the Day Hospital.

We run a Shopmobility scheme, which operates from the Tourist Information Centre. It loans motorised scooters or manual wheelchairs, without charge, to those who need assistance getting around the town centre.
