Purchase of Seaford Day Hospital

Horder Healthcare, the award winning independent healthcare charity that runs The Horder Centre, Crowborough and Horder Healthcare, Eastbourne has purchased Seaford Day Hospital. Planning to open in Spring 2014, the organisation intends to fully refurbish the building and invest in brand new patient facilities for the community, offering consultant led orthopaedic and musculoskeletal (MSK) services, including physiotherapy, with ambitions to also pro- vide diagnostic services such as X-ray.

Founded in 1954, the independent charity is recognised for its excellent patient outcomes in orthopaedic surgery and high standards of patient care. The purchase of Seaford Day Hospital will enable the charity to offer their high quality service to more patients within the community, providing services closer to their homes. Di Thomas, Chief Executive of Horder Healthcare said: “We are delighted to be opening a new healthcare facility in Seaford and in the new year look forward to talking to local people to determine local needs, ensuring that our new facility is a real contribution to the community.”

The Horder Centre, part of Horder Healthcare, was recently reported in the leading health care publication Laing’s Healthcare Market News as consistently achieving well above the national average for hip operation outcomes. Horder Healthcare works with leading Ortho- paedic Consultants and MSK Specialists covering a wide range of fields from their locations in Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells, Horley, Eastbourne, Heathfield and Pulborough. These services include Orthopaedic surgery, Rheumatology, Pain management, Extended Scope Physiotherapy, Neurology, Osteopathy, Audiology and Diagnostics.
