===Irwin Army Hospital=== {{main|Irwin Army Community Hospital}} A year after the post was established in 1853, a temporary hospital was constructed near the present-day Post/Cavalry Museum and Patton Hall on the main post. A permanent hospital, which is now the Post/Cavalry Museum, was built in 1855 with a clock tower added in 1890. The second hospital, later known as Summerall Hall, replaced the 1855 hospital in 1888 and is now Post Headquarters. A third hospital was built in 1941 at Camp Whitside and named Cantonment Hospital, later Station Hospital. The second hospital remained as an annex until 1957. The fourth hospital (now known as the "Legacy Hospital") was dedicated in 1958, and a new facility on the site of the previous Station Hospital opened in 2016. The Legacy and current hospitals were named after [[Bernard J. D. Irwin|Brigadier General Bernard John Dowling Irwin]], "The Fighting Doctor", who won the [[Medal of Honor]] for distinguished gallantry in action during an engagement with the Chiricahua Indians near Apache Pass, Arizona Territory, in February 1861.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://iach.amedd.army.mil/history.asp |title=Irwin ACH - History |publisher=Iach.amedd.army.mil |access-date=February 16, 2013 |archive-date=February 7, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070207062919/http://iach.amedd.army.mil/history.asp }}</ref> As of 2016, the hospital has 47 beds and is staffed by 45 physicians.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ourmilitary.com/bases/irwin-army-community-hospital/ |title=Irwin Army Community Hospital |access-date=March 13, 2019 |archive-date=January 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200106215006/https://www.ourmilitary.com/bases/irwin-army-community-hospital/ }}</ref>
