FACILITIES
Womack Army Medical Center
Womack Army Medical Center, located at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C., is dedicated to Medal of Honor recipient, and medic, Pfc. Bryant Homer Womack.
The hospital started as a 500-bed facility in 1918 when the post was known as Camp Bragg. Prior to the construction of WAMC in 1955, the hospital was part of two cantonment-type hospitals with a bed capacity of 2,682 and one-story wood frame wards connected by covered walkways.
Today, the hospital serves more than 160,000 eligible beneficiaries in the region—active duty, retirees and family members—with services such as obstetrics, orthopedics, optometry, cardiology, hematology-oncology, pulmonology and chiropractics.
Womack personnel use the latest technology to better serve its patients. From interventional radiology techniques to laser eye surgery, its physicians strive to keep their fingers on the pulse of modern medicine.
