Hospital honors ‘Fighting doctor’ and upholds highest standards of care
Irwin Army Community Hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas, is named for Brig. Gen. Bernard Irwin, who served almost four decades in frontier and wartime posts, between 1849 – 1881. Known as the “fighting doctor,” Irwin did not treat Soldiers from a safe distance — he rode on horseback into battle to reach injured service members and later brought surgical care close to the front lines during the Civil War. The hospital honors Irwin’s namesake through high-quality care for warfighters and their families.
