Ireland Army Hospital, Ft. Knox

Ireland Army Hospital, located at Fort Knox, Kentucky, has served as the primary medical facility for the installation since its establishment in 1957. Named in honor of Major General Merritte W. Ireland, the U.S. Army’s 23rd Surgeon General, the hospital has provided comprehensive healthcare to soldiers, their families, and retirees for decades. Throughout its history, Ireland Army Hospital has supported numerous training missions and deployments, especially during periods of heightened military activity. In recent years, it transitioned from a full-service hospital to an outpatient clinic, continuing its legacy of care as Ireland Army Health Clinic.
