CHANT is your national voice in the fight to save your community hospitals

CHANT aims: 

1. To promote at national level the role of community hospitals in providing quality health care  

2. To support local campaigns for community hospitals by acting as a resource and a central information point for local groups 

3. To co-ordinate national events and the lobbying of MPs and other decision makers

CHANT acts to ensure that the government fulfils its promise to meet the health needs of the nation and provide locally accessible healthcare

Keep in touch! 
Please remember to email us at email@chantonline.com if you want to tell us about another community hospital at risk, or even to ask us to remove one if it's actually safe from closure!
