The new facility replaced Fort Irwin-based Weed Army Community Hospital, which no longer met modern standards of care.
“Over the years, we have upgraded and expanded the current Weed Army Community Hospital; however, it is nearly 50 years old, is undersized for the amount of services we provide and is inefficient based on modern standards,” Col. Martin Doperak, commander of Weed Army Community Hospital, told the Daily Press.
The new hospital is 60 percent larger than the old facility and will generate its energy from solar power and additional renewable energy models.
The hospital took more than five years to complete.
