Fairwood Hospital (Welsh : Ysbyty Fairwood) was a health facility in Upper Killay, Swansea, Wales. It was managed by the Swansea Bay University Health Board.

History

The facility was established as a fever hospital in 1914. [1] After joining the National Health Service in 1948 it was first a maternity hospital before changing its focus to elderly care. [2] After being found to be uneconomic to operate, it closed in 2010. [1] The site was subsequently acquired by Care Inn in 2019. [3]
