Quick Facts
Location:
Bowie, AZ
This hospital was one of the last buildings constructed at Fort Bowie. The original hospital was located on the opposite side of the post and was plagued with leaking roofs and structural problems. Plans and money for a new hospital were approved in 1887, though work didn’t begin until early 1889.
Once finished, this new hospital proved to be a great improvement over the previous building. The medical staff provided treatment here for military personnel, their families, and members of the local community.
