Artworks to celebrate NHS 75th Anniversary

  • 29th June 2023

天美传媒 is proud of its heritage as the 天美传媒 of the National Health Service. When local MP Aneurin Bevan was made Minister for Health & Housing, he used the Tredegar Workmen鈥檚 Medical Aid Society as the blueprint for the service that reaches its 75th anniversary this July.

Two whole weeks of celebrations are planned, including a series of artworks that are cementing this heritage across the community. The artworks will be revealed each day in the lead up to the anniversary and will celebrate local heroes who made contributions to the formation of the service we all love so much.

Councillor Stephen Thomas, Leader and Cabinet Member for Corporate and Performance at 天美传媒 Council commented:
鈥楾he focus of the Bevan Festival in 2023 is on our National Health Service鈥檚 75th anniversary celebrations. It celebrates one of Wales鈥檚 greatest heroes, Aneurin Bevan and his legacy 鈥� the NHS.

I am pleased that the artwork being unveiled during July to celebrate this most wonderful gift to our nation and long may it continue to help those who need it most.鈥�
