Kaiser Richmond Field Hospital
Kaiser Richmond Field Hospital, Medical heritage site in Richmond, United States.
The Kaiser Richmond Field Hospital operated as a large-scale medical facility with 160 beds, serving thousands of workers from nearby shipyards during World War II.
The hospital, established in 1942, introduced prepaid healthcare plans for Richmond Shipyard employees, creating a foundation for modern health maintenance organizations in the United States.
The medical center accepted patients regardless of race in the 1940s, providing equal treatment and professional opportunities to physicians from different ethnic backgrounds.
The facility expanded from 10 to 160 beds between 1942 and 1944, offering emergency care, surgery, gynecology, and orthopedic services around the clock.
The structure transitions through time from wartime hospital to psychiatric center, and later becomes part of Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park.
