Bright Vision Community Hospital (BVCH) is a 318-bedded public community hospital at 5 Lorong Napiri, Singapore 547530, off Yio Chu Kang Road, in Hougang, Singapore. It was founded by the Singapore Buddhist Welfare Services in 2001, who gave ownership of the hospital to SingHealth in 2011 owing to management challenges.[1]

BVCH changed its name from Bright Vision Hospital to Bright Vision Community Hospital in January 2023 and has been used as a COVID-19 Treatment Facility since 11 April 2022, serving both COVID-19 patients and community hospital patients.[2][3]
