The new £25m community hospital for Newton Abbot will open its doors to patients on January 12.
The new building will provide patients with a state-of-the-art health facility for the future.
It replaces the 110-year old Victorian and Edwardian hospital which no longer fits the purpose of delivering 21st century health and social care.
The new hospital at Jetty Marsh has been built as part of a shared commitment between Devon Primary Care Trust and county council social services to deliver integrated care from a single site.
They are working in partnership with South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Torbay Care Trust in delivering services from the new hospital.
It will provide a new maternity unit and will also incorporate many services for children, including a new paediatric therapy unit and audiology booth.
An improved rehabilitation unit, including a new gym and five treatment units, will also be housed at the site, along with a mobile diagnostic unit.
It will also feature a stroke unit.
Liz Stirling, matron at the new hospital, said: 'We are delighted to be able to treat patients in the excellent facilities of the new modern hospital.
'Until now, children needing speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy would have had to make up to four visits to Torbay Hospital. Now they make just one – to us in Newton Abbot.'
The hospital brings multi-disciplinary teams together under one roof in Newton Abbot for the first time. This includes social services, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, administration and clerical staff.
There is a new training and education suite complete with computer room for staff to develop their skills and keep up to date with new health care developments.
The population served by the hospital is expected to grow by more than 20 per cent by 2021 and the proportion of elderly people is projected to rise markedly.
Proceeds from the sale of the old hospital are being reinvested in the NHS.
