History

The hospital was commissioned in 1893 and opened as the Grove Fever Hospital in Tooting Grove, London in 1899. [2] [3] [4]

The Fountain Fever Hospital was added as an annexe in 1893, but in 1913 it was converted to become a mental hospital for children who were severely 'mentally subnormal'. [5]

The Grove Fever Hospital became the Grove Military Hospital in 1916 before reverting to civilian use as a fever hospital again in 1920. [2] In 1932, Joseph Bramhall Ellison, while working at the hospital, discovered that vitamin A significantly reduces measles mortality in children. [6] It joined the National Health Service as the Grove Hospital in 1948. [2] It became St George's Hospital, Tooting Branch in 1958 and, although two ward blocks remain, most of the premises were demolished in 1973. [2]
