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.
New Cross Hospital was originally built circa 1900 as a workhouse. The first phase of the modern hospital, built by Alfred McAlpine, was completed in 1970. It became the main acute general hospital for Wolverhampton when the Royal Hospital, Wolverhampton closed in June 1997.
In 2004 the £57m Heart and Lung Centre opened on the site, the United Kingdom's first purpose built specialist heart centre.
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.
