Heart and
lung problems to be
target of new Coventry centre
Puzzle No.1 Hidden Word: _____________
A new health centre in Coventry will target heart and lung problems
due to widespread issues in the area, NHS bosses said.
The planned community diagnostic centre (CDC) should open by April
2025.
It will see about 90,000 patients annually, councillors heard at a
meeting.
The hub will be based in the Paybody Building by the city’s health
centre on Stoney Stanton Road after the site is refurbished.
It will be part-funded from an £18.4m NHS grant for Coventry and
Rugby, given in 2022 for the improvements.
Testing for heart and lung issues will be targeted as heart failure and
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease were known to be widespread
in the local community, a report to the meeting said.
The site will also focus on expanding the city’s capacity for diagnosing
cancers as it will provide scans and ultrasound support.
Works would make sure the centre was more “available and
accessible” to people, said Justine Richards, from the University
Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust.
“We are seeing a better opportunity to really tackle wider
inequalities,” she added.

Rainbow Theatre Jackets
I’m selling rainbow theatre
warm-up jackets on behalf
of a local charity Crafting
for Communities based
in Dudley in the Black
Country.
They started up in 2020
during COVID making scrubs
for local hospitals that were
running short, and have now
grown massively and make
all sorts of items for various
settings such as neonatal
and dementia care.
There is a limited quantity
available on my Etsy page
and all money will go back
to the charity.
