The University Hospital Arnau de Vilanova (officially, Hospital Universitari Arnau de Vilanova in Catalan) is a public medical institution in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, and the biggest one in the surrounding area (terres de Lleida or terres de Ponent) and province.
It was opened in 1956. Not to be confused with a hospital in Valencia called Hospital Arnau de Vilanova, the hospital in Lleida is run by the Catalan Health Institute (ICS) and has a total of 447 beds. Nowadays named after the Valencian physician Arnau de Vilanova, its first official name (during the Francoist dictatorship) was Residencia Sanitaria General Moscardó and belonged, at first, to the Instituto Nacional de Previsión (INP) and then to INSALUD until 1981, when it was transferred to the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or hospital:
“To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.”
—William Booth (1829–1912)
“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
