History

The hospital has its origins in the Croom Workhouse and Infirmary which was designed by George Wilkinson and opened in 1852.[2] It became Croom County Hospital in 1924, St Nessan's Orthopedic Hospital in 1956 and the Mid-Western Regional Orthopedic Hospital in 2006.[2] Following the establishment of the Graduate Medical School at the University of Limerick, it became the Croom Hospital in 2013[3] when the hospitals in the greater Mid-West Region became part of a single operating and governance structure known as the UL Hospitals Group.[4]
