Which was founded first, Providence Hospital or Walter Reed Army Medical Center?

Located on 113 acre in Washington, D.C., it served more than 150,000 active and retired personnel from all branches of the military. The center was named after Major Walter Reed (1851–1902), an army physician who led the team that confirmed that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes rather than direct contact.

The hospital was founded in 1919 by the Sisters of Mercy at the nearby Mercy Hospital and moved to the current location in 1967.
