History

Built at a cost of £6 million, Leighton Hospital was officially opened by the Queen in May 1972. It replaced older facilities at Crewe District Memorial Hospital, Crewe Works Hospital, the Linden Grange Maternity Hospital and Coppenhall Hospital in Crewe, and Nantwich Cottage Hospital and the Barony Hospital in Nantwich.
Following an inspection in March 2018 the hospital was rated "good" by the Care Quality Commission and in June 2018 the hospital was recognised with a national award for patient experience.
