The new £172m Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr general hospital has recently opened in Caerphilly county.
Services have moved from Ty Sirhowy Mental Health Unit, Ystrad Mynach Hospital and Caerphilly and District Miners' Hospital.
Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr features single, en suite rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, a dedicated stroke unit and a GP out-of-hours service.
As part of its series on the future of the NHS in Wales, BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales visited the new hospital.
