| "the" is used only if it is actually part of the name of the hospital, as you would see it painted on the building eg The City Hospital but Great Ormond Street Hospital HOWEVER, with very large and well-known hospitals, we might actually say in conversation: Their child was rushed to Great Ormond Street. |

After qualifying in medicine, he worked for a while at City Hospital. And do hospitals have their names painted with 'the' in them on the wall ? Thank you. |

| City Hospital would be, City Hospital. If, as in my example, there was a hospital in New York, called The City Hospital (and this was the lettering painted on the building) then it would be written and read as The City Hospital. Whether painted, in plastic lettering, in wrought iron, or engraved in the stonework by Michelangelo himself, IF the name on the hospital and on its official stationery says The Poor People's Hospital, then 'the' is part of the name and so is included whenever you refer to the hospital. |
