County Community Hospital (Invergordon)

Community Hospital

Opened in Invergordon in 2005.

County Community Hospital serves the local communities of Ross, Cromarty and West Ness and, as such, must address the challenges of both urban and rural populations. We aim to provide a high quality, comprehensive range of services to meet the needs of local people as close to home as possible.

Care is tailored to patients’ individual needs and administered by skilled and experienced professionals.

We are actively developing Out of Hours and Unscheduled Care Services, with nurses pursuing advanced training in these areas.
