Castle Hill Hospital is an NHS hospital to the west of Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and is run by Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
History
Hull Sanatorium, which was designed by Joseph Hirst, was built on the site of Cottingham Castle, a large castellated mansion which had burnt down in 1861, between 1913 and 1916.[1] In 1928 the City Hospital for infectious diseases moved from its original location on Hedon Road to newly erected buildings on the Hull Sanatorium site.[1]
A major expansion of the hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2005. The Queen's Centre for Oncology and Haematology, which was designed by HLM Architects[2] and built by Shepherd Building Group at a cost of £65 million,[3] was completed in August 2008 and was officially opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in March 2009.[4]
Facilities
Castle Hill Hospital is home to the Daisy Building, the headquarters of the Daisy Charity. The charity support research into cancer, dementia, cardiological and haematological illnesses, and respiratory medicine.[5]
