Prevent the closure of Crewkerne Community & other community hospitals in area
Stop the closure of Crewkerne Community Hospital and other local community hospitals.
Protect and invest in these vital services to ensure continued access to local inpatient care, rehabilitation and support for these vulnerable patients.
Community hospitals like Crewkerne provide essential local care, reduce pressure on larger hospitals, and support patient recovery closer to home. Their closure risks increased travel, delays in treatment, and loss of trusted local services for elderly and vulnerable patients. These closures also force dedicated nurses and healthcare staff to be redeployed, creating uncertainty, breaking up local teams and worsening already critical workforce shortages. Please help us protect our hospital!
