St Michael's Hospital, Linlithgow is a community hospital in Linlithgow, Scotland. It is operated by NHS Lothian.[1]
History
The hospital has its origins in the Linlithgow Combination Poorhouse and Infirmary which opened on the site in 1856.[2] An infectious diseases hospital was built on an adjacent site in around 1900.[2] The poorhouse infirmary and the infectious diseases hospital came together to form St Michael's Home and Hospital in 1932.[2] The combined facility joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] The poorhouse building was demolished in 1969 and replaced with the current modern facility.[2]
