History
The facility has its origins in the Mountain Ash Cottage Hospital which was established in 1910.[1] The current structure was opened by Lord Aberdare as the Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber General Hospital in 1924.[2] It joined the National Health Service as Mountain Ash General Hospital in 1948[3] but, after services transferred to the Ysbyty Cwm Cynon, the general hospital closed in 2012.[4]
