New Cross Hospital, run by the Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust is a hospital in the Heath Town district of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. It is located to the east of the city centre in Wednesfield.[1]
History
New Cross Hospital was originally built circa 1900 as a workhouse.[2] The first phase of the modern hospital,[3] built by Alfred McAlpine, was completed in 1970.[4] It became the main acute general hospital for Wolverhampton when the Royal Hospital, Wolverhampton closed in June 1997.[5]
In 2004 the £57m Heart and Lung Centre opened on the site, the United Kingdom's first purpose built specialist heart centre.[6]

The hospital provides 700 beds, (including 27 intensive care and 14 neonatal intensive care). Employing almost 5000 staff it is the largest teaching hospital in the Black Country.
