==Health== Gravesend Hospital was opened in 1854, following the donation of a site by the [[Earl of Darnley|6th Earl of Darnley]] in 1853; it had its origin on 2 December 1850, as a dispensary on the Milton Road "to assist the really destitute poor of Gravesend and Milton and vicinities ... unable to pay for medical aid". By 1893, 4,699 such people had benefited by its presence. In 2004 the original building, and parts of the newer buildings were demolished to make way for a new community hospital. Gravesend Community Hospital provides a Minor Injury Unit, Dental services, Speech and Language therapy and Physiotherapy. It also has a Stroke Ward and offers inpatient care. The outpatient department provides care for much of the local area and is separate from those offered at Darent Valley Hospital. In addition, Gravesend emergency doctors out of hours service as well as podiatry are offered.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kentcht.nhs.uk/home/our-services/gravesham-community-hospital/?entryid109=230335 |title=Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust β Gravesham Community Hospital |website=Kentcht.nhs.uk |access-date=27 February 2016 |archive-date=15 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160215173238/http://www.kentcht.nhs.uk/home/our-services/gravesham-community-hospital/?entryid109=230335 |url-status=live }}</ref> In the town centre is a large medical clinic at Swan Yard, next to the Market car park, and several other doctors' surgeries are located in the area.
