In 1955, the Museum received its designation as the U.S. Army Medical Department Museum from the Surgeon General of the Army. Large stone medallions representing the seals of the six commissioned corps, enlisted corps, and civilian corps decorate the facade. The Phase II addition of the Museum was dedicated on July 24, 1998. The Museum has also assembled a collection of restored and replica ambulance vehicles. On exhibit are the improvised medical instrument set used by then Captain Thomas Hewlett to treat his fellow prisoners in Japan during WWII, and Army Nurse Corps POW material from the Philippines.
Admission is free.
The Museum is closed Mondays and Federal holidays.
