Historical Information
Tuberculosis studies conducted by the Surgeon General in 1895 suggested that New Mexico’s climate would be beneficial to the treatment of consumption. Fort Stanton was selected by the Marine Health Service to be the site of the first federal hospital for the exclusive treatment of tuberculosis and the hospital opened to its first patient, Seaman Joseph Ryan, on November 17, 1899. J.O. Cobb served as the first commander of the new hospital. The facility was closed on June 30, 1953.
