The facility expanded in 1909, later transitioning to Howard University’s management in 1967. Today’s campus at 2041 Georgia Avenue, NW, reflects the hospital’s ongoing commitment to advancing health equity and medical scholarship.\n\nFreedmen's Hall, located on the hospital grounds, preserves the history of medical education and health care at Howard University.
