Ground Breaking, April 27, 1918, U.S.A. General Hospital no. 21…"


This became Fitzsimons Army Medical Center and existed under that name for years.  Back when I was a Guardsman I went on it a time or two, mostly just to go to the PX.  The Army facility closed in 1999.

Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in 1973, at which time it specialized in burns.

It's now the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Center, which features, amongst other things, its excellent childrens' hospital.

Some features of the old post, of course, remain. . . but not many:

Main Gate, Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center, Aurora Colorado.
