Our hospitals are ideally situated to meet the growing healthcare needs of the 330,000 population of these boroughs. Warrington Hospital is home to our emergency, critical care and maternity services, Halton Hospital is focused on elective procedures and the Runcorn Urgent Treatment Centre, although many services are offered at both sites and in community hubs.
