Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital and the Hub on Rye Hill have announced they will officially be rebranded under a single name. From later this month it will be called Rye Health and Care.
The official launch will take place on 28 July and will be marked by the introduction of a brand new identity and logo.
The charity which runs both the hospital and hub says the rebranding marks a historic step forward for healthcare and wellbeing in the district. By bringing the hospital charity and the community hub under one single leadership team, the organisation hopes to simplify how residents access local care, protect long term funding and expand future services.
"This is an evolution built on shared values," said Charlotte Kneer, the CEO of the hospital. "While our name and look are changing, our core mission remains exactly the same: bringing health and care services closer to home. Uniting our teams makes us stronger and more resilient for the future."
She said the rebranding will mean zero disruption to daily services. "All medical clinics, hospital care and community hub activities will continue seamlessly."
The new identity and website will go live on 28 July. Further details regarding the official launch day will be shared with the community over the coming weeks.
