Originally the hospital was named the Cheltenham Provident Dispensary and was founded in 1813. In 1839 it ws moved to steward house and at this point was renamed the Cheltenham General Hospital. The original building was built in 1848-49 designed by D. J. Humphries.
Today the hospital provides the general hospital services; it also offers some specialist services. The hospital has 16 wards and a number of specialist departments. It also offers an emergency department which is open from 8am - 8pm.
