Orthopaedic Hospital
On the doorstep is the world famous Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, which has its origins in a convalescent home for disabled children established in 1900 at Baschurch by Agnes (later Dame Agnes) Hunt. In 1919 funds and premises became available and the hospital transferred to Park Hall into the hospital section of a former army camp. Much progress has been made since that time both with vast new buildings and pioneer medical treatments. The hospital, through the quality of service and care offered by a dedicated team of staff, is a centre of excellence with an international reputation.

Famous quotes containing the word hospital:
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
