Millington Naval Hospital

Millington Naval Hospital, located in Millington, Tennessee, was established during World War II to provide medical care and support for personnel at the nearby Naval Air Station. Commissioned in 1942, the hospital played a crucial role in treating wounded servicemembers returning from overseas and training new medical staff for naval operations. Throughout the Cold War and into the late 20th century, Millington Naval Hospital continued to serve as a vital healthcare facility for active duty, retired military, and their families. The hospital was eventually realigned as part of broader military restructuring, with its healthcare functions integrated into the local Navy medical community.
