According to a progress report in the latest E-Guidon, the new hospital construction at Fort Leonard Wood is expected to be completed in early 2024 and should be open by early 2025. According to Mark French, a Quality Assurance Section chief with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, major site work is complete. Utilities are connected and operational, and landscaping is progressing well. The majority of parking lots, streets, and sidewalks are ready for use. The clinic, hospital, and five-bay ambulance garage exterior finishes are wrapping up and interior finishes are underway. The new 450-thousand-square-foot hospital is located on 52 acres just to the northeast of the existing hospital, which was built in 1965. Once the new hospital is complete, the existing hospital will be scheduled for demolition. The entrance to the new hospital will be off Headquarters Avenue on post.
