    I, was a patient at the 97th from 4 july to august 31 1966. My right ankle was fractured during a alert and I am still carring the brass pin around. The Dr that did the surgery was Irianin. Anyone stationed there in 1966 would remember him. I, had a German friend that would slip Flips in during visiting hrs LoL

      I was a Patient Admin Clerk, GS, from Sept. 82 thru Oct 85. I remember the bombing…soooo sad a time of grief that was. My daughter was 1 1/2 years when we first arrived in Frankfurt. We lived on Mittleweg, ohhh I so sorry to hear about 97th. We all were so tight, true family, all the units worked well and covered for each other. I’d love to see the hospital and surrounding areas; I read that it’s there but a surrounded by other German Buildings. What’s the address?

    I was stationed at the 97 th general Hospital and I worked in the x-ray dept. The years was 1969 thru 1971. I’d loved to talk to someone who had pictures of the the hospital and knew any information of the Clinics outside the hospital., In Hanah, Gelanhausen, Fulda, and Bad Hersfeld. I also was startioned there tdy for different periods of time and would love to have pictures of these places. Does anyone remember the Planatation Club near the 97th.. It was a non comissioned club. I did also love this time and I’d love to write a story about it. I remember a cornel who was the chief and left ev eryone know it.. Please write as soon as possible (Steven G. West)

    97th is still standing but probably only because it is now the American Consulate Frankfurt. Almost everything else that the US used in and around Frankfurt and especially the hospital is now gone. There are two facebook groups for related to the 97th. The first is “97th General Hospital, US Army, Frankfurt, Germany” and the other is “97th General Hospital and Friends”

    Folks looking for medical records from the 97th should google the national personnel records center (NPRC) in St Louis and look for a records request. Per regulation all medical records are suppose to be retired to NPRC. THe date the records were retired depends on the type of record (inpatient, outpatient, speciality record (i.e. Fetal Monitoring strip), the last time the patient was treated. Things needed to find records include the sponsor’s SSAN or if really old the sponsor’s sewrvice number. It is a time consuming process but records can be recovered.

    I was stationed at the 97th 67-68. Started out as a lab tech and then got to work the information desk in the main lobby. The 97th is no more. It is now the American Consul. Lots of fond memories of the 97th Freddy’s Bar and great pizza from Balogna’s (the German version of Dominos only better)

    The 97th was a great place to be stationed at. Many fond memories. I was there November 1972 to November 1974. The first year I was a medic on the orthopedic ward followed by a year in Inhalation Therapy. Freddie’s was fun. I recall a bartender named Tony with a deep voice. I also remember my NCOIC, SFC Emery T. Jones.

    I was at the 97 Gen Hosp in 77-79, I was a medic and worked on the Orthopedic ward. We would go to Freddies Pizza on the weekend. Best pizza around. Don’t really remember the Chain of Command. It was a good assignment til I decided to climb the castle walls in Heidlberg. Fell off and broke my arm in five different places, was then medevaced to WRAMC in DC.

      I was stationed at the 97th general from 1986-1989 and I am sad to say that this is true. You can actually get on line and see for yourself, the hospital is still standing behind some construction fencing they are leaving the hospital in place in case of any future need but the Gibbs Kaserne has been demolished and I have heard they plan to build german housing” What a waste”
