Tripler Army Hospital Honolulu, HI

Tripler Army Hospital, located in Honolulu, Hawaii, was originally established in 1907 as a small medical dispensary for the growing U.S. Army presence in the Pacific. It was named after Brigadier General Charles Stuart Tripler, a prominent Civil War surgeon. During World War II, the hospital expanded significantly to meet the medical needs of thousands of wounded service members from the Pacific Theater. In 1948, the iconic pink hospital building that stands today was dedicated, and Tripler Army Medical Center has since served as the premier military medical facility in the Pacific region, providing care for U.S. service members, veterans, and their families.
