JE Dunn Construction Company broke ground last June for the $295,974,160 design-build replacement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Kansas City district) Fort Leonard Wood Hospital, an initiative expected to be delivered in fall 2024.
The project at the U.S. Army Base near St. Robert, Mo., and funded by Department of Defense military construction funds, was awarded to JE Dunn in August 2019. As the construction agent for Defense Health Agency, the USACE s Kansas City district is responsible for the design, construction and delivery of the hospital.

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. – Capt. Victoria Aladeokin, a public health nurse at General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital, demonstrates her dedication to the well-being and health of her fellow service members on Fort Leonard Wood as a subject matter expert in contact tracing her journey here, however, was a long one that took her all the way from Africa.
She first came to the U.S. seeking opportunities when she moved from Lagos, Nigeria in 2009. Now she looks for ways to give back and education is the best path to paying it forward.
Aladeokin said her character was initially shaped by her father. To him, education was an international currency. She had family in Alabama and sought an opportunity to attend college there. As a student at the University of North Alabama, she initially studied mathematics before changing her major to nursing, and she graduated with her associate degree.
