LCHS is the largest provider of community-based care in the county, helping children to have the best start in life and supporting adults by delivering care close to home.

District nurses and therapy services help get patients back on their feet or stay healthy at home.

Care is also provided at clinics and inpatient wards in community hospitals in Gainsborough, Louth, Skegness and Spalding, as well as urgent care centres at Louth and Skegness, minor injury units at Spalding and Gainsborough, the Lincoln’s Walk-In Centre and Peterborough Minor Illness and Injury Unit.

LCHS chair Elaine Baylis said: “One of the most rewarding parts of my role is talking to patients and hearing about their experiences of using our services. It is truly humbling and I could not be more proud of our staff who often go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver excellent care.
