Virginia's Confederate Military
Hospitals
Introduction
The late 20th century understanding of Civil War era medicine is weak at
best, with some execptions. Injuries and diseases which are today minor
annoyances were in the 1860's often fatal. The Union and Confederate
military organizations expended large amounts of resources on hospitals and
medical care for their men, but often to little avail. I have provided some
links to Civil War medical sites. There isn't much available on this
topic.

This list is intended to identify as many stationary hospitals and the periods
they were in service. Field hospitals with the Army of Northern Virginia are
exceedingly difficult to track, and were used only to stabalize wounded
men. When they were able they were transferred to one of the stationary
hospitals.
