The WRA furnished both medical 
and surgical services to the evacuees
free of charge. The hospital at Amache had seventeen wings and
one hundred fifty beds. The hospital was staffed by a total of
219 employees. Part of the WRA staff consisted of one chief medical
officer, one chief nurse, seven registered nurses, one dietitian,
one social medical worker, one sanitary engineer, four sanitary
inspectors, and one public health nurse. Evacuee staff consisted
of but not limited to two nurses, ten nutrition aids, five doctors,
and thirty nurse's aides.
In addition to the hospital there
was also an Out-Patient
building which consisted of the Out-Patient clinic, pharmacy,
optometry, laboratory, X-Ray department, and the dental clinic.
The dental clinic was staffed by five evacuee dentists, and treated
125 patients daily with approximately 800 patients being treated
on a weekly basis (WRA
1944: 17). Services were limited to emergency cases only
at the dental clinic due to the shortage of necessary supplies.
