Most games require deeper-level interactions with Windows than Wine can provide.
From what I remember back when I used Windows (last version was XP, then hello OSX!) it was actually difficult enough to run 90's games on a modern computer (and yes, I did try Theme Hospital) so there's no guarantee that installing Windows via either Boot Camp or a virtual machine would work for it.
Getting hold of a second-hand older Windows box from a business or school which would otherwise get binned is probably going to be a cheaper pathway to playing Theme Hospital than buying Windows 7 to install on your Mac.

I couldn't get Theme Hospital to install and play on Windows 7 over Christmas 
Shame, I was looking forward to treating people suffering from a 'slack tongue' and have surgeons described as 'liabilities' responsible for training.

You can download a version for $5.99 from GOG.com, that works on XP, Vista, 7 and 8 - plus Mac OSX. I know there is a cost outlay involved, but I found this easier than getting the disk version to work.
They also offer a 30 day money back guarantee if it doesn't work on your system, so is relatively risk free.

have you looked at CorsixTH?

It's free and runs ok on Linux, so it should also work on Mac

I managed to get it working using a program called DOSbox

And do you choose to cover up or treat all of those patients when an epidemic is reported?
And don't forget to strategically place the vending machines as to hide the holes where the rats come in
