Irwin Army Community Hospital
The Irwin Army Community Hospital is a US Army medical facility at Fort Riley, Kansas.[1]
History
The Irwin Army Community Hospital in Fort Riley, named after Brigadier general Bernard John Dowling Irwin, opened in February 1958. The 47-bed facility was fully accredited by the Joint Commissions on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and served a population of more than 30,000.[2]
On 16 October 2016, the new 550,669 square foot IACH opened. The new facility is 47% bigger than the old one and can accommodate more patients with the addition of beds in the emergency and labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum unit.[3]
On June 14, 2022, Col. Anthony D. Gray took command of Irwin Army Community Hospital from Col. Edgar G. Arroyo in a ceremony held at Fort Riley's Cavalry Parade Field.[4]
The hospital was awarded the Gold Seal of Approval by the Joint Commission in November 2024.[5][6]
