In 1970 planning began for the new Fort Carson Hospital. In 1986 the name was changed to Evans Army Community Hospital and occupancy of this facility took place.
Evans Army Community Hospital is named in honor of Specialist Four Donald W. Evans, Jr., a member of Company A, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division. Specialist Evans was awarded the Medal of Honor for action at Tri Tam, Republic of Vietnam, where he gave his life while administering medical aid to his fellow soldiers.
The hospital is comprised of two distinct buildings separated by a glassed Commons Area. The five-story Tower at the front of the hospital houses all Inpatient Units, the Operating Suite, the Delivery Suite, Nursery, Radiology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Emergency Room, and the Nutrition Care Division. The two-story Clinic Building contains all Outpatient Clinics, the Command Suite, and other administrative support functions. The Commons Area, which provides the main entries into the building, also houses patient service activities such as Outpatient Records, Outpatient Pharmacy, Admissions and Dispositions, Hospital Treasurer, PX, Barber Shop and Chapel.
The hospital was first accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations in October 1954. Subsequent surveys have reaffirmed the accreditation status with Evans placing in the top 10% of all healthcare organizations in the country during its most recent accreditation.
The hospital is a member of the American Hospital Association, American Association of Blood Banks, certified by the College of American Pathologists, and the Cancer Registry Program, approved by the American College of Surgeons.
