History
The facility has its origins in the Banbridge Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in June 1841.[1] It became Banbridge District Hospital in 1932 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it evolved to become Banbridge Hospital.[2] Despite some investment in surgical wards in the 1980s, the hospital closed in 1995.[3] The old hospital was subsequently demolished and the new Banbridge Health and Care Centre opened on part of the site in 2016.[4]
gollark: Sense of community: any team activity ever.Making friends: any team activity ever.Educating people: school, somewhat.Discipline: don't know, probably can be figured out.
gollark: You can do those WITHOUT forcing people to spend time in the military, via optional things?
gollark: As vaguely bad as school is, I prefer it over an environment where you are expected to blindly follow orders, have no privacy/free time/etc, and do physical activity lots.
gollark: I don't think you know what "physically able" means.
gollark: Forcing people to do things is, in my opinion, to be reserved for cases where you can be *very sure* it's good.
