Rush Green Hospital was a hospital located at Rush Green in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in London from 1900 to 1994.
History[]
The hospital was opened as the Romford Isolation Hospital by Romford Rural District Council in co-operation with Romford Urban District Council (the hospital was located in Romford Rural District) in April 1901.[1][2] The rural district was abolished and the hospital became part of the Dagenham district in April 1926.[3]
The facility was renamed Rush Green Hospital in 1939 and it joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] It closed in 1994 and the site has been redeveloped for housing and for use as a medical centre.[2]
