Community hospitals
Our 13 community hospitals provide specialist services across Somerset for patients, offering a broad range of outpatient clinics as well as some inpatient care.
Two of our inpatient wards at Williton and South Petherton community hospitals provide a specialist countywide stroke rehabilitation service where you may go following a stroke or a brain injury. Our inpatient wards at Bridgwater and West Mendip community hospitals also offer a countywide service for short term rehabilitation as part of our Home First service.
Open visiting across Somerset’s hospitals
Alongside our community hospital outpatient clinics, our community teams deliver care across Somerset in your own home.
