1st USAF Hospital (ADC)

The 1st USAF Hospital (ADC) was a United States Air Force medical unit assigned to the Air Defense Command (ADC). Established during the early Cold War period, its primary mission was to provide comprehensive medical care and support to Air Force personnel and their families stationed at key ADC installations. The hospital played a crucial role in maintaining the health and readiness of aircrews and ground personnel responsible for the continental air defense of the United States. Throughout its existence, the 1st USAF Hospital contributed significantly to the overall effectiveness and morale of the Air Defense Command until its eventual inactivation or reorganization as the Air Force's medical structure evolved.
