Horsham Hospital is a health facility at Hurst Road in Horsham, West Sussex, England. It is managed by Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust.
History[]
The facility, which was financed by voluntary donations, was completed in 1892.[1][2] The hospital expanded into new purpose-built facilities slightly further east along Hurst Road in May 1923.[2] A physiotherapy department, an outpatients department and a new maternity unit were all introduced during the Second World War.[2] After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, further additions included extra wards in 1981 and a new outpatients department in 1997.[2] In June 2019 the trust began a consultation on closing a dementia ward at the hospital.[3]
