History
by Thomas L. Snyder
Constructed specifically to care
for war neurosis and combat fatigue cases,
this hospital, built on rolling hills adjacent to the Oakland
Naval Hospital, was commissioned with 500 beds 15 August 1944.
Just over two years later, on 1 September 1946, the hospital
was decommissioned, and its property subsumed by the nearby Oakland
Naval Hospital
