Crosshouse Hospital is a general hospital serving Kilmarnock, built to replace the old Kilmarnock Infirmary. It is located 1 mile outside the town in the village of Crosshouse, hence the name. It was opened as the North Ayrshire District General Hospital, but professionals soon took to calling it "Nadge," hence the adoption of the local place name.
In 2006, a new state-of-the-art Maternity Unit was opened in the grounds of the hospital. The "Ayrshire Maternity Unit" replaced a similar unit at Ayrshire Central Hospital, Irvine.
The Hospital has an active Hospital Radio Station HBSA Hospital Radio which is popular amongst patients.
