22 May 2026 7.30-9pm, Andover War Memorial Hospital: One Hundred Years of Service to the Community

On 30 June 2026 Andover War Memorial Hospital celebrates its 100^th birthday.

Built by local people as their memorial to those who had given their lives in the First World War,  it has had a significant role in the lives of  generations of Andoverians

This talk looks back over the years of service it has given to the community.

It is a story of growth and of change to deliver new treatments and ways of provision. But it is also a story of challenges to local care in the name of efficiency. More than once, local people have had to fight for the hospital’s survival.
