St Catherine's Hospital is a mental healthcare hospital located in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, approximately 3 miles from its centre. It is managed by Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust.
History
St Catherine's Hall was built for George Banks, a local industrialist and former Lord Mayor of Leeds, in 1839.[1][2][3] After the last member of the Banks family died, the house was auctioned and acquired by the Ministry of Health for use as a psychiatric facility becoming known as St Catherine's Institution in 1928.[4]
After joining the National Health Service in 1948, the facility became St Catherine's Hospital in 1959.[5] The hospital continues to provide mental health and learning disability services.[6] It is located close to the Tickhill Road Hospital which is separate and provides a broader range of services.[7]
