Rutherglen Maternity, only built in the late 60's, I think but didn't last very long, demolished.
Belvidere, now flats.
Darnley, has a BUPA nursing home built on the site.
ENT Hospital, St Vincent Street, office block built on the site.
Duke Street Hospital
Elder Cottage Hospital, across from the Southern and now housing.
Elder Cottage building in Drumoyne Drive is now a Nursing Home, I think. The one across from the Southern was the David Elder Infirmary

Guacho,
I'm not sure. When I was there in the late 70's the David Elder was used for Nurses residences as I knew a girl who lived in. It was an overspill from the main nurses home on the Southern site, which is the large building on the left of the main drive as you go in and is now management offices.

Not sure if it's the same building(s), but when I was training and the Woodilee was evacuated in 1987, one of the places wards were re-opened was the David Elder. "Fondly" referred to as "Fort Apache" by the folk sent to work there!
RDR, the C.P.N. Out of Hours is based at Cowglen somewhere, and has been since about 2001. Again, not sure what building/offices they use. Not much help I know - sorry.

Box,
the Cowglen site was cleared, there is an out of hours (OOH) service site near there, which was originally used for GP OOH, but they all moved to Caledonia House, Cardonald, but it might well be that the CPN OOH still operates from the old base.

Hmm, you've got me wondering now. I'll check it out tomorrow.
It also occurred to me there's at least one other North Glasgow hospital no-one seems to have mentioned; Foresthall, formerly the Barnhill Workhouse.
There are a couple of hundred houses there now, but I well remember the sight of the buildings there from my infrequent forays into the city as a boy. There is some info about it on Glasgow Guide *
*Hope that's not a "dirty word" here!

All these are now gone in the past 25 years:
Belvidere, Birdston, Blawarthill, Broomhill, Canniesburn, Cowglen, Darnley, David Elder, Duke Street, Duntocher, Elder Cottage Hospital, Gartloch, Glasgow Eye Infirmary, Glasgow Royal Maternity, Knightswood, Lennox Castle, Lenzie, Mearnskirk, Philipshill, Royal Beatson Memorial, Royal Samaritan, Ruchill, Rutherglen Maternity, Stoneyetts, Waverly Park, Woodilee.
That's not even including the various health centres and mental health/substance abuse day clinics listed as well.
