Road Trip: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, formerly known as the National Naval Medical Center and colloquially referred to as the Bethesda Naval Hospital or Navy Med, is a tri-service military medical center located in the community of Bethesda, Maryland, near the headquarters of the National Institutes of Health.

Walter Reed is one of the most prominent U.S. military medical centers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the United States, having served numerous U.S. presidents since the 20th century.

In 2011, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, named after yellow fever researcher Walter Reed, had been combined with the National Naval Medical Center to form the tri-service Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

WRNMMC serves as the location of the headquarters for Joint Task Force National Capital Region/Medical, a tri-service task force providing command and control for most medical treatment facilities in the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New Jersey.

The WRNMMC continues to provide all the services it provided as NNMC, having additionally absorbed many departments and services from WRAMC.

WRNMMC is comprised of nearly 8,500 dedicated staff members who make it their daily mission to achieve the vision and mission of the medical center. That vision is to serve military families and our nation’s active duty, returning war heroes, veterans and our Nation’s leaders.

Walter Reed is committed to operational readiness; outstanding customer service; maintaining excellent graduate medical and dental education and research; and always delivering world-class health care within an integrated system.

Those who come though Walter Reed's doors come to heal, to stay healthy, to help others, to teach the next generation, to practice quality medicine, and take part in cutting-edge clinical research.

Got rain in the forecast for this afternoon

Going to visit sick family member this morning
but it looks like tomorrow will be house chores.

For now, gonna make my rounds. Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
Chat with the military and/or the family they left behind.

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
