The former L. Richardson Memorial Hospital, also known as Americas Health Care of Greensboro Nursing Facility, is a historic hospital located at Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The original section was built in 1927, and is a three-story, seven-bay, Mission Revival style stuccoed brick building with a two-bay-wide, three-story, brick wing constructed in 1930. A long two- and three-story addition was added in 1945–1946. It was Greensboro's first modern hospital for African-Americans. The hospital moved to a new facility in 1966, and the old building sold for use as a nursing home.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
