Welcome! We are here for you
The Edward Hain Centre is St. Ives’ new community hub for health and wellbeing. Situated in the same building that housed the Edward Hain Memorial Hospital for 100 years, we serve the community of St. Ives and surrounding areas.
Our mission is to provide accessible and affordable health, wellbeing and community care for all. We offer a range of services, not only traditional medical and clinical, but also preventive care, and social groups that enhance wellbeing.
Explore these pages to find information about our free community, health and wellbeing activities, as well as other activities and events.
We also have a bi-monthly newsletter with the Friends of the Edward Hain Centre. It’s packed with the latest information on our programmes, as well as the Friends’ fundraising events. (See also ‘Friends of EHC). To subscribe, scroll to ‘In the Know’ at the bottom of this page.
We are also the home of the St. Ives Food Bank. To read more about them, see the ‘About Us’ page.
We look forward to welcoming you at the Centre!
