Roosevelt Hospital (Edison, New Jersey)

Roosevelt Hospital is a historic building located at 1 Roosevelt Drive in the township of Edison in Middlesex County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 2002, for its significance in health and medicine, particularly in the treatment of tuberculosis. It is currently part of the Roosevelt Care Center at Edison.

Construction of the hospital began in 1935 and was completed in 1937. Designed by architect Aylin Pierson in the Colonial Revival style, the red brick building features an octagonal tower on the roof and white terra cotta details in the interior. It was praised as an "outstanding example of compact, well-organized planning" in Architectural Forum.

Adjacent to the hospital is Roosevelt Park, which was built as part of the tuberculosis treatment facilities.
