The 121st Evacuation Hospital, 1959

Outpatient service is one of the many functions of the 121st Evacuation Hospital in Korea. SP4 James D. Pierce (right) registers SP5 Ronald G. Williams, Eighth Army Aircraft Maintenance, ASCOM, for treatment. The 121st Evacuation Hospital - commanded by Arnold L. Ahnfeldt - has been the doorway to treatment and recovery for U.S. servicemen and Republic of Korea military personnel, Army and non-Army U.S. civilians and Korean nationals. With its three fully equipped X-ray rooms and portable units, as well as a laboratory and mobile blood unit, the hospital and its staff take care not only of its own patients, but also of those from other hospitals, assisting with the reading of X-rays and laboratory work for several hospitals in South Korea.
