History edit
The facility was financed by a gift from Samuel Robinson of Philadelphia, a founder of American Stores, in memory of his parents who came from Cloughmills.[1] It was designed by Thomas Houston and was officially opened by the Duchess of Abercorn in September 1933.[2][3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[4] A new health centre adjacent to the hospital was opened by Lord Grey in May 1970 and an old x-ray department was converted into a hydrotherapy pool in 1975.[3]
