LEAF Health, a provider of holistic and complementary healthcare in North Wales since 1980, has announced it is moving its Llandudno clinic to a permanent, upgraded new facility: the historic Oxford House, on Oxford Road.
Originally opened in 1926 by then Minister of Health, and future Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, Oxford House served as a maternity hospital for decades where thousands of local babies were born.
The last baby to be delivered there was in 1974, and it remained under health authority ownership through the 1990s while falling into severe disrepair.

It was purchased in 1999 by Tony Jones, a physiotherapist, and converted into a multi-disciplinary treatment centre known as the Oxford House Clinic.
It has been vacant for two years, and again has fallen into a state of disrepair, with “severe rot and dry water damage”.
Exactly 100 years since its foundation, LEAF Health is breathing new life into the iconic building, restoring its legacy as a sanctuary for local health and healing.
The clinic will officially welcome its first patients for appointments at Oxford House on Monday, 2 November.
To transform the 5,000-square-foot building into a fully accessible, multidisciplinary wellness hub, LEAF Health has launched a community crowdfunding campaign.
The funds raised will directly support major, deep structural renovations, specialised ground-floor layouts for less-mobile patients, and advanced clinical equipment, including the expansion of its cutting-edge Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
More than £4,500 has been raised through crowdfunding so far – to donate to their renovation efforts, click here.
“Moving into Oxford House allows us to preserve an important piece of Llandudno’s heritage while dramatically expanding the care we provide to our community,” said Dr John Griffiths, director at LEAF Health.
“We have been caring for families in North Wales for 46 years, and this move ensures we can look after them for the next hundred.
“We are inviting our patients, neighbours, and local businesses to help us write this next chapter.”
To encourage community backing, the crowdfunding campaign features exclusive rewards.
Supporters can secure early access to LEAF Health’s brand-new Membership Scheme -which offers 15 per cent off selected treatments—with options for 1-year, 3-year, or lifelong memberships.
Additionally, donors who contribute £50 or more will have their names permanently engraved onto a custom “Giving Tree” art installation featured prominently in the new reception and waiting area.
