Ripley Hospital is a health facility in Sandham Lane, Ripley, Derbyshire, England. It is managed by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The facility was commissioned after the death of a miner injured at Pentrich Colliery, who did not survive the road journey to Derby in time for treatment.[1][2] It opened as Ripley Cottage Hospital in September 1912 and joined the National Health Service as Ripley Hospital in 1948.[3]
