The National Methodist Sanatorium was a 1926 medical facility on Boulder Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was near the Beth-El Hospital, which is now Memorial Hospital. The Sanatorium was later used as the Air Defense Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) headquarters on Ent Air Force Base.
In 1874, Dr. Samuel Edwin Solly from London "moved to Manitou because of his wife's ill health." Colorado Spring's first medical facility was a c. 1887 small railroad infirmary that was followed by the St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration 1888 hospital on Institute Heights and the 1890–1902 Bellevue Sanitarium (later named National Deaconess Sanitarium). Beth-El Hospital opened in 1911 along East Boulder Street on land donated by General William Jackson Palmer.
