Dr. Mary E. Walker Center
The Mary E. Walker Center (MEWC) is a state-of-the-art facility that provides a broad range of comprehensive services to our beneficiaries and is now home to WACH Budget and Personnel services and Hospital Education & Training.
The facility is proudly named after Dr. Mary E. Walker, a graduate of the Syracuse Medical College, who went on to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for her work as a surgeon and healer during the American Civil War. She is one of only eight civilians ever to be awarded the medal and the only woman to do so.
