Seaford MP Norman Baker has visited The Horder Centre which is run by Horder Healthcare, the charity that has bought Seaford Day Hospital.
He was given a tour of the orthopaedic hospital in Crowborough by Chief Executive Diane Thomas and Centre Operations Manager Jane Vince.
Horder Healthcare bought Seaford Day Hospital in November and plans to open the fully refurbished building, which will be known as Horder Healthcare Seaford, in July.
Mr Baker said: “I was very impressed by the facilities at The Horder Centre and it is very encouraging for Seaford people that Horder Healthcare will be providing new facilities in the town from this summer.”
Diane Thomas said: “We were delighted that Mr Baker could come along and see The Horder Centre and we are looking forward to opening our new facility in Seaford that we hope will play a vital role in the local community.”
Earlier this year, a public meeting was held in Seaford to hear the views of local people about the future role of the new facility.
Horder Healthcare, which this year celebrates 60 years as a registered charity, also runs clinics and classes in Eastbourne, Heathfield, Tunbridge Wells, Horley and Pulborough.
