Bethesda
Over the years, the term Bethesda has become synonymous with quality health care. Providing care to war heroes and presidents for more than 65 years, the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) is one of the nation’s largest and most renowned military medical centers – known quite aptly as the Flagship of Navy Medicine.
From cutting-edge bone scans testing for osteoporosis and potential breakthroughs in the treatment of ovarian cancer to the new, state-of-the-art facilities, the doctors, nurses and scientists at Bethesda work hard to keep their flagship reputation.
With numerous expansions over the years, the NNMC is currently comprised of nearly 4,500 health-care professionals with the shared vision to be the Flagship of Force Health Protection and Operational Readiness. From doctors, nurses and dentists to administrators and support staff, they deliver outstanding customer service and maintain exceptional opportunities in graduate medical and dental education and research. Employing the latest cutting-edge technologies, they deliver world-class health care within an integrated system.
The National Naval Medical Center is much more than a hospital. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.
