Hundreds of people marched through the streets in protest against plans to rebuild a community hospital without inpatient beds.
The Ellen Badger Hospital in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, was demolished last year and will be replaced with outpatient services.
Plans see beds being relocated to the Leamington Spa Hospital.
The trust says it ensures equity for the north and centre of the county, who are the majority of inpatient users.
Despite heavy rainfall, about 700 people turned out for the demonstration on Saturday, with many dressed as badgers in honour of the hospital which served the community from 1896 until 2022.
