Monaghan Hospital has just been awarded Age Friendly status making it just the second hospital in the country to achieve the title.
It was awarded to the local hospital by Age Friendly Ireland, the organisation charged with delivering the government's vision of an Age Friendly Ireland.
Monaghan has proudly been an Age Friendly County for over a decade after Monaghan County Council signed up to the programme in 2011.
Lynda McGrory, Corporate Business Manager & Site Manager at Monaghan Hospital said: "This work has led to huge improvements at the hospital for older people, evident even on approaching the building. Ronan Gargan has been speaking to Lynda and also Barry Eaton who is the the Social Inclusion Development Officer with Monaghan County Council.
