Which Naval Hospitals have you been to?

215 years ago, in 1811, Congress established U.S. Navy hospitals! This act appointed The Secretary of the Navy as Superintendent, funded facilities through a 20-cent monthly deduction and personnel fines for all Navy officers, sailors, and marines, authorized the purchase of land, set one daily ration for patients, and outlined the governance of Navy Asylums.

In this 📷, a Corpsman, surgeon, and nurse of Naval Hospital, Chelsea, Mass., examine a patient in Ward 6, Group 1, on June 2, 1919. Navy Hospital Chelsea was one of the first three naval hospitals in the U.S. and served personnel through major wars from the Civil War to World War II.
