    The Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center is a Veterans Administration hospital, opened in 1950. It is located at 325 East H Street in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.

    History

    As World War II came to a close, the need for veteran's healthcare increased in the western Upper Peninsula. In 1945, Iron Mountain was selected as the site for the construction of a new hospital. In 1946, the former Von Platen-Fox Lumber Company site was purchased as a location, and the Veterans Administration turned the project over to the United States Army Corps of Engineers to manage. The Corps hired the Chicago firm of Fugard, Olsen, Urbain, and Neiler to design the complex, and Wallace G. Atkinson to design the landscape. Plans were developed through 1947, and ground was finally broken at the site in March 1948. The Corps managed the construction through early 1950, transferring it back to the VA in February of that year. The Iron Mountain VA Hospital was dedicated on March 5, 1950.

    The complex did not require any expansion for nearly 50 years. In 1997, an Ambulatory Care addition was constructed. Other small outbuildings were added in the early 2000s. In 2007, the hospital was renamed the Oscar G. Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center, after Dickinson County native and Medal of Honor recipient Oscar G. Johnson. In 2008, a new Rehabilitation and Extended Care Center/Community Living Center was constructed, and in 2011 the Outpatient Clinic was expanded.
