Community Memorial Hospital (Ayer, Massachusetts)
Community Memorial Hospital is a historic hospital building at 15 Winthrop Avenue in Ayer, Massachusetts. The brick and stone Colonial Revival building was constructed in 1929, and expanded in the 1950s.

The organization that operated the hospital was created in September 1927 when the Ayer Hospital Association, founded in 1912, accepted control of Ayer Private Hospital, founded 1924. This organization operated the facility until 1964 when it was merged with the Groton Community Hospital, forming Nashoba Community Hospital. This group continued to operate the facility until 1971, when it moved to new premises and vacated this building.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. As of 2018, the building was being operated as Nashoba Valley Assisted Living.
