History
The ground breaking for this facility occurred in July 1991 and the doors opened in July 1994. In November 1996, the facility was dedicated as the “Mike O’Callaghan Federal Hospital” in honor of Nevada’s 23rd Governor. The facility holds the distinct honor of being the nation’s first hospital to be funded, planned, and built as an operational joint venture with the VA. In 2011, the Air Force Medical Service upgraded Nellis to a medical center, bringing significant additional resources to the Nellis community. In January 2012, the facility was officially renamed the “Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center” (MOFMC). The VA opened a new hospital in 2013 and departed from the MOFMC, leading the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act to rename the facility “Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center.” The two facilities continue supporting one another via support agreement for select specialty and inpatient care services.
