Set Hospital name and subsitute

Question

I'm trying to default a letter which I have to write after every week.
Every week, I'm visiting a different hospital, but will always send them the same letter.

Is there a way to set the hospital name (and other parameters), so I only need to change them once on top of the document and it substitutes them several times?

E.g. set{hospital} {The London Hospital}

documentclass[a4paper,12pt,draft]{article}

set{hospital} {The London Hospital}

begin{document}

Date: 
Hospital: {hospital}

Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to work at {hospital} last week.
Please let me know, when the opportunity comes up again to work at {hospital}.

end{document}

I want to alter hospital name, doctor names and staff, and don't want to forget it, so subsitute at the start. How can I achieve that?

scrlttr2 is a great package to typeset letters. You can set the 'toname' and 'toaddress' komavars as you can read in my  MWE

documentclass[fontsize=14pt,DIV=calc]{scrlttr2}

addtokomafont{toname}{sffamily}

%=========================================
setkomavar{toname}{The London Hospital}
setkomavar{toaddress}{SOME place in LondonCODE-Townname}
% =======================================

setkomavar{signature}{qquadqquadqquadqquadqquad%
qquadqquadqquadqquad qquad  textit{Me}}

setkomavar{subject}{MWE}%

begin{document}
begin{letter}{}
opening{Donec at pede.}

Nullam eu ante vel est convallis dignissim.  Fusce
 suscipit, wisi nec facilisis facilisis, est dui fermentum leo, quis
 tempor ligula erat quis odio.  Nunc porta vulputate tellus.  Nunc
