Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center

Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center (WHASC), formerly known as Wilford Hall Medical Center, is a U.S. Air Force medical treatment facility located on the grounds of San Antonio's Lackland Air Force Base.

[1] Operated by the 59th Medical Wing, Wilford Hall is the Defense Department's largest outpatient ambulatory surgical center, providing the full spectrum of primary care, specialty care, and outpatient surgery.

The medical facility is named after former Air Force physician, Maj. Gen. Wilford F. Hall, a visionary pioneer whose contributions were instrumental in the development of aeromedical evacuation.

[4] The contract for demolishing the old building was awarded in 2018, but demolition did not start until late 2023, finishing in 2024.

Once the site is leveled, it will be restored to provide additional parking and more than 25 acres of green space with a track.
