It was managed by North East Wales NHS Trust and closed in 2002.

The site was a United States Army hospital during the Second World War.

[1] The hospital was founded in 1946, as part of an initiative to care for Polish ex-servicemen who fought alongside the Allies in the Second World War, as well as their families, who settled in the area.

Residents at the hospital and camp included the Polish military commander, Wacław Przeździecki.

[3] The original hospital building (which had space for 30 wards but was now only using one) was subsequently demolished and a small, modern facility was opened in 2004, with 8 individual rooms for the surviving Polish residents.
