St Catherine's Health Centre, formerly St Catherine's Hospital, is a community hospital in Tranmere, Birkenhead, England.

St Catherine's is managed by Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.^[1] Some services run from the site are operated by other local trusts.^[2]

History

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 £32.6 million 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]
