Located in the heart of Tredegar, The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre marks a significant step forward in the Health Board’s commitment to delivering integrated, community-based care. The Centre brings together a wide range of services under one roof, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing and making it easier for people to access the care they need, closer to home.
The Centre is a key part of the Health Board’s Clinical Futures Programme, which aims to transform healthcare across Gwent by shifting more services into community settings and reducing reliance on hospital-based care. It offers a welcoming, modern environment for patients, staff and visitors, with purpose-built spaces for primary care, mental health support, community services, and wellbeing initiatives.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Health Secretary Jeremy Miles said:
“I'm delighted to officially open the Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre today. The centre represents the kind of transformative healthcare we are aiming to deliver across Wales – making care more accessible and closer to home and bring together primary care, mental health support and wellbeing services under one roof.
"Named after the founder of the NHS, Aneurin Bevan, this health and wellbeing centre shows how we can deliver care which isn’t just about treating illness, but also promotes wellness and helps people to live healthier lives.
“This is the future of healthcare in Wales – community-focused, integrated services and designed around the needs of local people."
The event was attended by invited guests, including representatives from local government, partner organisations, and members of the construction and design teams who helped bring the centre to life. Staff from across the Health Board also joined the celebration, marking the culmination of years of planning and collaboration.
Nicola Prygodzicz, Chief Executive of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, said:
“We are delighted to officially open The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre, a facility that reflects our vision for the future of healthcare in Gwent. This Centre is more than just a building, it’s a hub for integrated care, designed to support people in the local communities live healthier, more connected lives.
“Our teams have worked incredibly hard to create a space that promotes wellbeing in every sense, from the services it offers to the environment it provides. We are proud of what we’ve achieved and grateful to all our partners who helped make this vision a reality.”
The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre has been thoughtfully designed to promote healing and connection, with natural light and flexible areas for community use. It will serve as a hub for innovation in integrated care, supporting people to live healthier lives and manage their conditions with confidence.
The Health Board extends its sincere thanks to all partners, contractors, and staff who contributed to the successful delivery of this project.
