Cleland Hospital is a health facility in Auchinlea Drive, Cleland, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lanarkshire.

Contents

History

The facility has its origins in the Omoa Poorhouse, [lower-alpha 1] 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

  1. 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]
