Local Health Services
Lawrence Gaunt Opticians operated in the area from 1978 until 2011, when it relocated from Holt Park District Centre to the newly-built Ireland Wood Medical Practice.
A prominent health service in Holt Park, High Field Surgery, is located close to the Holt Park District Centre, the local GP practice. An additional practice, Holt Park Doctor's Surgery (also known as 'Holt Park Health Centre') lies close to Highfield Surgery, and next to the shopping centre main entrance.
Since the building of the shopping centre, a pharmacy-cum-chemist has existed for the collection of prescriptions from the nearby surgeries. Initially Bloom's the Chemist, it was located adjacent to Asda supermarket. In 1999 it became Moss Pharmacy, and used the same unit until 2004 when it moved into a smaller unit due to the refurbishment and expansion of Asda. It subsequently became a Lloyd's Pharmacy; in 2009 it was re-opened as part of the Boots chain.
In 2007 Holt Park Dental Practice was opened.

But an eternal health goes round.
Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high,
Fill all the glasses there—for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
