Dunoon Community Hospital - Put health care at the heart of the community by investing in Dunoon Community Hospital

Dunoon Hospital provides an essential and accessible health care facility in the heart of the town. The building includes an Accident & Emergency department, Cowal Hospice and the local community health team. 

Although the building is well used, years of underinvestment mean that the building and land around the site is underutilized and looks neglected in places.
