Horder Healthcare has been committed to caring since 1954 when we were called 'The Horder Centre for Arthritis'. We've come a long way since then. Our consultants are amongst the most skilled, experienced and innovative in their field. Our staff love to work here, so it makes sense that our patient outcomes are in the top 99%.
