The Sagle Bernstein Legacy
A Cromer resident by the name of Mrs Sagle Bernstein left a substantial legacy to Cromer and District Hospital in 2001. The sum was £11.4 million which she left because of the excellent care that her sister had received as a patient at the hospital. The terms of Mrs Bernstein’s will were that it is to be spent on “improvement of general facilities” and the legacy can only be spent at Cromer Hospital. It is planned that a new hospital will be built on the site of the present hospital. The legacy is to be used towards the cost of building and equipping the new hospital. £500,000 of the legacy has already been spent on an eight-station renal dialysis unit which opened in June 2006. The dialysis unit was relocated in the refurbished Barclay ward in January 2011.
