GROUND was broken for the Hospital Chapel in July of 1944 and the completed building was dedicated in January of 1945. Constructed in California Mission style to harmonize with the other buildings of the compound, it includes a Main Chapel seating four hundred and fifty, separate Protestant and Catholic oratories, and offices for the station chaplains. A distinctive feature of the well-appointed Main Chapel is a revolving platform which has three altars so arranged that the proper one is readily brought into view for use in Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish services. By the use of earphones and a broadcasting system, Sunday services in the Chapel are brought to the patients in the wards. In August of 1948 the first steps were taken to increase the beauty of the Chapel by installing stained glass windows. They were designed and set by Mr. Fred Wieland of San Diego, whose work is found in many churches throughout the country. The windows are the gifts of many individuals, organizations, and groups. A Service of Thanksgiving, marking the completion of the project, was held in the Chapel on September 18th, 1949.
