Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital, now Hugh Chatham Health, was as a historic hospital located near Elkin, Surry County, North Carolina. The original rectangular section was built in 1930–1931, with additions made in 1937, 1947, and 1952. The original brick section is two stories over a partially above-ground basement. It is eleven bays long and two rooms deep, with a slate-covered hipped roof with a central cupola and two rear dormers.
In 1967, the hospital Board of Trustees realized that Elkin needed a larger more modern hospital. It would be a 100 bed, all private room facility and the old hospital would be converted into a nursing center. The new ultra modern hospital was opened on June 29, 1973 to accept patients. An open house was held on July 1, 1973.
Although the hospital was built in 1973 as a 100 bed acute care general hospital, its licensure was maintained with two exceptions; four beds were taken out of service to be used by Nursing Administration, ultra sound and speech pathology and 15 acute care beds were converted to skilled long term beds in 1987, leaving a licensed acute care capacity of 81 beds.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
