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 in 1900 by Romford Rural District Council in co-operation with Romford Urban District Council (the hospital was located in Romford Rural District).[1] It was renamed Rush Green in 1939; by this time the rural district had been abolished and the hospital had been part of the Dagenham district since 1926. It was managed by the National Health Service from 1948. In 1965 it became part of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Part of the former hospital site has been reused for housing and a nursing home.
