I'd like to welcome you to Naval Hospital Jacksonville (NH Jax). Our priority is to heal our nation's heroes a mission we've had since our founding in 1941. We do whatever it takes to deliver the highest quality care, centered not just on the patient but also on the family. We have the unique responsibility and privilege of providing care on the home front while supporting Department of Defense operational missions abroad. At any given time, about 15 percent of our 1,400 military staff are serving in areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Djibouti and Cuba providing world-class medical care.

As the fourth largest hospital in Navy Medicine including our main hospital and five Branch Health Clinics in Florida and Georgia we serve 215,000 beneficiaries. Our robust partnerships with hospitals and physicians in the TRICARE network expand our capacity. Each day, our team of 2,500 military and civilian personnel care for about 1,800 outpatients, admits 15 inpatients, cares for 80 people in the ER, performs 14 same-day surgeries, fills 4,700 prescriptions, conducts 4,600 lab tests and delivers 2-3 babies.

Thank you for all you do for our great nation and for letting us assist you in creating and maintaining healthy, productive lives.
