Madigan Army Medical Center located in Fort Lewis, Washington, is one of the largest military hospitals on the West Coast of the USA.

The hospital was named in honor of Colonel Patrick S. Madigan, an assistant to the U.S. Army Surgeon General from 1940 to 1943 who was also known as "The Father of Army Neuropsychiatry." On September 22, 1944, Madigan General Hospital was named in his honor.

In 1999, Madigan became the second military hospital to ever receive a perfect score of “100” from JCAHO.

The hospital today is a 205-bed JCAHO-accredited facility, expandable to 318 beds in the event of a disaster. Major services include general medical and surgical care, adult and pediatric primary care clinics, 24-hour Emergency department, specialty clinics, clinical services, wellness and prevention services, veterinary care, and environmental health services.

MAMC is one of three designated trauma centers in MEDCOM, and is the headquarters for the Western Regional Medical Command (WRMC).

The main hospital building was constructed in the early 1990s. Prior to the opening of the building, the hospital consisted of a network of connected 1 story buildings.
