Ripon Community Hospital is set to undergo a £161,000 refurbishment.
NHS Property Services, which owns the building, is carrying out works to the hospital site to upgrade its roofs, kitchens and heating system.
The organisation has handed a £161,231 contract to Richmond-based Acomb Construction Ltd to take on the work.
It comes as part of NHS Property Services’ five-year plan for the hospital and the improvements will form the second phase of works to the site.
It will include upgrading some of the 30-year-old flooring, roofing and a range of electrical units for the building.
