Withington Community Hospital (officially known as the Withington Community Hospital and Diagnostic and Treatment Centre) is a hospital in south Manchester, England. Despite being named as the Withington Community Hospital, due to local border modifications the hospital is now situated in West Didsbury. A new hospital building to the south-east of the old site is now a primary care base, it now provides specialist care to those who are awaiting diagnostic treatment and day surgery appointments.
At its height, the hospital was the largest teaching hospital in Europe, thanks in part to its affiliation with the University of Manchester, which has one of the largest medical schools in the north of England.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or hospital:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
