Howard University Hospital

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation that officially transferred Freedmen's Hospital to Howard University. The change became official in 1975 when a 515-bed, Howard University Hospital opened its doors at its current location on Georgia Avenue, NW.

Howard University Hospital has pioneered treatment techniques. Its Cancer Center, Center for Sickle Cell Disease, neonatal disease and minority organ transplant tissue education programs, place Howard University Hospital among the leaders of health care research and delivery in the nation. Continuing its tradition of pride and its commitment of providing the best medical training and care, Howard University Hospital is the only African American academic and comprehensive health care center in the country. Thus, Howard University Hospital exerts a dramatic impact on Washington, DC and the nation.
