St Luke's Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. It was managed by Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys Foundation NHS Trust.

History

The facility, which absorbed patients from the aging the North Riding Asylum in York, was designed by Charles Henry Howell using a compact arrow layout.[1] It opened as the Middlesbrough Borough Asylum in June 1898.[2] It joined the National Health Service as St Luke's Hospital in 1948.[1]

In 1980, South Cleveland Hospital (latterly, the James Cook University Hospital) was built adjacent to St Luke's Hospital.

In November 1980 the regional medium-secure psychiatric unit was established in a modern building to the rear of the hospital called the Hutton Centre.[3]

St Luke's was demolished in 2010 to make way for the new Roseberry Park Hospital,[4] with 365 inpatient beds.[5] Like St Luke's, Roseberry Park is run by the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust, which also runs the modern West Park Hospital in Darlington and Lanchester Road Hospital in Durham.[6]
