The medical districts in Búðardal and á Reykhólar were combined into one two medical districts by law in 1974 and thus the Búðardal Clinic was established. Its practice moved to new premises at Gunnarsbraut 2 in Búðardal on 1 November 1978, but had previously been in a medical building in Brekkuhvamm 1. In Reykhólar, the work was carried out in an old medical building there, but in September 1983 it was moved to the current building that had been built for the activity at Hellisbraut.

The health centers in Búðardal and Reykhólar provide general health care services to the residents of Dalabyggðar and Reykhólahrepp.

On January 1, 2010, all health institutions in Westland merged into one, the Westland Health Institute. Within it, the activities in Búðardal and Reykhólum form a unit called HVE Búðardal. The population in the area of HVE Búðardal is approximately 1000 people.

History of HVE Hólmavík
A doctor came to Hólmavík in 1903. He had facilities in a hospital at Kópnesbraut 7, but he also had a home there. The Health Institute in Hólmavík was founded in 1998, when hospitals and health care, which were previously separate in operation, merged.

A health center has been operating in the current building since 1985. The health center serves the residents of Árneshrepp, Kaldrananeshrepp and Strandabyggðar. The clinic is well equipped, with a small emergency room, a laboratory, X-ray equipment and a dental office. There is a pharmacy run by the institute. The center provides all basic health services, such as general medicine, infant and maternal care and home care.

The nursing department has eight individual rooms and two small apartments designed for two people each, in addition to one emergency room and medical and occupational therapy facilities. The Nursing Department was built in the years 1948-50 as a medical residence and hospital shelter. In 2003, a new extension was put into use, at the same time, renovations were made to the older building, which improved all the facilities for the household members and staff.

The medical district covers Árneshrepp, Kaldrananeshrepp and Strandabyggð. This shows that the district is very vast and sparsely populated. It can be difficult to cross in winter, and you often have to resort to specially equipped vehicles. There are organized trips to the H station in Árneshrepp.

The institute has a well-equipped ambulance.

From the history of the hospital and health center in Hvammstangi
Björn G Blöndal was the first district doctor in the Miðfjörður medical district who lived in Hvammstanga, but he settled in the first residential building that had been built in Hvammstanga in 1901, but the house was built the year before. The first building specially built for health care was a doctor's residence, which was built in 1918 and put into use in 1919. In the beginning, the district doctor took care of the patients in his home, assisted by his wife and workers.

Between 1926 and 1930, the building was expanded and the "hospital" was built. More staff were soon hired. The first nurse, Margrét Halldórsdóttir, was hired in 1923 and worked continuously until 1956. In 1931, a food seller was hired at the hospital, but before that the doctor had provided food for the patients. Ólafur Gunnarsson was the first doctor who lived in the doctor's residence, but he was succeeded by Jónas Sveinsson, whose efforts to rejuvenate the elderly here in Húnaþing will probably keep his name high in the air around here.

Between 1957 and 1960, the hospital's main building was built. There had been talk of a new building at the hospital shelter for many years, but it wasn't until Kvennabandið put a lot of effort into it, first under the leadership of Jónína S. Líndal in Lækjamót and then Jósefína Helgadóttir in Laugarbakki, that the issue gained significant momentum. The building was approved by the County Committee in 1955, but the Women's Band contributed significant sums to the construction and equipment of the new hospital. After these renovations, the hospital had 21 hospital beds as well as three apartments for staff and service spaces. In 1984, a lounge was built at the hospital, which solved the urgent need for a place to hang out for residents. At that time, there were about 40 hospital beds in use in a far too small space, although the staff's apartments had already been converted into hospital rooms.

In 1986, a newly built health center was put into operation, which revolutionized all patient service facilities in the medical district. About 10 years before, the health care had been made a two-doctor center and more staff hired to provide health care, e.g. district nurse.

In 1992, a complete renovation of the hospital premises began. The older building was completely redecorated and a new 750 sq m extension was built. These constructions lasted for several years and the interior construction was completed in 2000, and the site completion in 2002. In December 2002, the renovations were officially inaugurated by Jón Kristjánsson, Minister of Health, who unveiled the outdoor artwork Tungukotsmóra on that occasion.

A health care center has been operating in Ólafsvík since 1971. The first building was at Hjarðartún 6, then the center moved to the current building at the end of 1986. The area of operation of the center is Snæfellsbær, which is Fróðárhreppur, Staðarsveit, Breiðvík, Hellissandur, Rif and Ólafsvík.

The clinic is well equipped, with an emergency room, a laboratory, X-ray equipment, etc.

In the facility's premises, there is an independently run dental service, which is staffed by a dentist and two assistants. A physical therapist is also available at the facility.
