Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Although first envisioned during the Civil War, an army general hospital was not built in Washington until 1909. Named in honor of Major Walter Reed, famed for conquering yellow fever, the original hospital resulted from the determined efforts of colleagues to establish a memorial to Major Reed for his service to mankind. Walter Reed Army Medical Center continues those earlier visions and dreams. World renowned for quality patient care, medical research and teaching, it remains dedicated to providing the military and their families the finest care the nation can offer.
