The hospital has its origins in the Birkenhead Union Workhouse and Infirmary which was designed by Thomas Leyland and completed in 1863. [3] The original hospital was replaced by two new pavilions and an administration block in 1913, and was renamed as the Birkenhead Institution. [4]

The facility became Birkenhead Municipal Hospital in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as St Catherine's Hospital in 1948. [5]

In 2013, St Catherine's underwent a £32million redevelopment, with the original St Catherine's Hospital buildings replaced with the new, four storey health centre. As part of the redevelopment, the site was renamed St Catherine's Medical Centre. [6]
