Patterson Army Hospital

**Patterson Army Hospital** was a United States Army medical facility established during World War II in Fairfield, California. Opened in 1942, it served as a key hospital for treating wounded service members returning from the Pacific Theater and for convalescent care. The hospital operated with hundreds of beds and a large staff, providing specialized treatment, rehabilitation, and support to thousands of soldiers. After the war, Patterson Army Hospital was gradually deactivated and ultimately closed in 1946, with the site later repurposed for civilian use.
