ARMY HOSP. SANDIA BASE, NEW MEX.

The Army Hospital at Sandia Base, New Mexico, was established during World War II to support the growing military presence associated with the Manhattan Project and the broader activities of Sandia Base. The hospital provided essential medical care to military personnel, civilians, and scientists involved in nuclear weapons development and testing. Throughout its operational years, the facility played a crucial role in ensuring the health and readiness of those assigned to this highly sensitive and strategic base. After the Cold War era, as Sandia Base's mission evolved and military needs shifted, the hospital's operations were eventually scaled down and integrated into broader defense health programs.
