Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Specialized

The U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Museum tells the story of Army medicine from 1775 to the present. Our collections cover uniforms, equipment, vehicles and art relating to the history of the Medical Department. Military medicine has contributed greatly to medical science over the years. In time of war, its role is to conserve life, not take it. In other words, our story is about the humanitarian side of military life. How disease has changed the course of history and how military medicine has fought against it. We also have a significant collection of medical prisoners of war material.
