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.
