York Hospital is a National Health Service teaching hospital in York, England. It is managed by the York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS foundation trust which also runs several other hospitals in North Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

History

The hospital has its origins in a small hospital established in Monkgate in April 1740.[1] It moved to larger premises in Monkgate in 1745 and to a new purpose-built facility behind the existing building in 1851.[1]

The present facility on Wigginton Road, which replaced numerous other facilities, including Acomb Hospital, Deighton Grove Hospital, Fulford Hospital, the Military Hospital, Yearsley Bridge Hospital, York City Hospital and York County Hospital, was designed by Llewelyn-Davies, Weeks, Forestier-Walker and Bor and built and equipped at a cost of £12.5 million between 1971 and 1976.[2] It was officially opened by Princess Alexandra on 28 July 1977.[2]

Services

There is an urgent care centre at York Hospital which is open every day.[3] Hospedia gives patients and staff entertainment and music through the day and night. It also provides some specialist shows, including live commentary from nearby York City Football Club.[4]
