Tor-Na-Dee Hospital was a health facility at Milltimber, Aberdeen, Scotland.
History
[edit]The hospital, which was established as part of an initiative by Dr Alexander Stewart to provide services to patients with rheumatism, opened as Deeside Hydropathic Hospital in November 1899.[1] It became the Tor-Na-Dee Sanitorium (meaning Hill by the River Dee) in 1918.[2]
An east wing was opened in 1920 and the hospital was acquired by the Red Cross in 1945.[2] After joining the National Health Service in 1955,[3] it became the Tor-Na-Dee Hospital in 1960.[2] Further extensions included the Roxburghe House palliative care unit which opened in 1977 and a day care unit for cancer patients which opened in 1990.[4] The hospital closed in 2002[2] and the building was subsequently converted into apartments as part of the Woodland Grove development.[5]
From 1939 to 1957 the sanatorium was under the charge of Dr Robert Young Keers FRSE.[6]
