History Of Solihull Hospital
** History **
Solihull Hospital first opened its doors as a Workhouse in 1839 for the 'undeserving poor', including the homeless, sick, aged and those with smallpox and TB.
Until 1939 there was no hospital in Solihull, however the circumstances of war turned the Workhouse into a hospital.
The opening of the Solihull District General Hospital in 1994 was an important event in Solihull's History as it was the first time the people of the area had a modern purpose-built hospital where all types of treatment, including the care of children, the elderly, and the mentally ill was provided on one site.
In 1996, Solihull and Heartlands Hospitals merged to create Birmingham Heartlands & Soihull NHS Trust. In April 2005, this became Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust. There have been many exciting developments since, which have improved facilities and services at Solihull Hospital for both patients and staff.
