Banning General Hospital

Banning General Hospital, later the Naval Convalescent Hospital, Banning, was a military hospital in Banning, California, built in 1943 to support training at the Desert Training Center. Built by the Army as a 1,000 bed hospital, it was transferred to the Navy in 1944. In 1948 the site was declared surplus, all buildings were removed, and the leased land was returned to the original owners.
