Cleland Hospital is a health facility in Auchinlea Drive, Cleland, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lanarkshire.
History
[edit]The facility has its origins in the Omoa Poorhouse,[a] which was designed by Alexander Cullen[2] and opened in 1903.[3][4] Following closure of the poorhouse in 1939, the buildings were converted for use as a military hospital during the Second World War.[3] The new facility then joined the National Health Service as Cleland Hospital in 1948.[5]
After services had been transferred to a modern community hospital on the east side of the site, the old hospital buildings were demolished in 2008.[3]
Notes
[edit]- ^ The poorhouse was named after the Fort of San Fernando de Omoa which was captured by Colonel William Dalrymple, a local land owner, in 1779 during the American Revolutionary War.[1]
