TAMC Tripler Army Medical Center

Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC), located in Honolulu, Hawaii, was established in 1907 as Tripler Hospital, named after Civil War surgeon Brevet Brigadier General Charles Stuart Tripler. Originally situated in downtown Honolulu, the hospital moved to its current location on Moanalua Ridge in 1948 to accommodate the growing needs of the U.S. military in the Pacific region. TAMC played a crucial role during World War II, serving as the primary treatment facility for casualties from the Pacific Theater. Today, it stands as the largest military hospital in the Pacific, providing comprehensive medical care to service members, veterans, and their families across the Asia-Pacific area.
