Rush Green Hospital was a hospital located at Rush Green in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in London from 1900 to 1995.

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 1995 and the site has been redeveloped for housing and for use as a medical centre.[2]
