The Mount Vernon Hospital was a health facility in Mount Vernon Road, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It was managed by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital was established when a private house, previously owned by the Cooper family, was converted into a tuberculosis sanatorium in May 1915.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1] Many of the older buildings were subsequently demolished and the site was redeveloped as a geriatric hospital with the new facilities being officially opened by the Princess Royal in 1961.[1] Additional wards were added in 1974.[1] After services had transferred to Barnsley Hospital, Mount Vernon hospital closed in December 2017.[2] The site was subsequently sold to Orion Homes to facilitate residential development.[3]
