Wick Town and County Hospital is a health facility in Seaforth Avenue, Wick, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Highland.

History

The facility, which was designed by Sinclair Macdonald as an infectious diseases hospital, opened in 1910.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a modern extension has since been built on the site.[1] Protesters concerned about the potential closure of the hospital[2] held candlelight meetings in October 2017.[3]
