Brooke Army Medical Center

Mission: Promote health and provide safe, quality, timely, compassionate, patient-centered care while developing healthcare professionals and optimizing readiness.

Vision: To be our Patients’ first choice in healthcare.

Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) serves as the largest and most robust military healthcare organization within the Department of Defense (DOD). Both inpatient and outpatient services are provided by approximately 8,500 staff members, including active duty military personnel from each of our uniformed services, federal civilian employees and contractors.

A central part of our medical center is the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), which provides safe, quality, evidence-based care for up to 425 military and civilian inpatients.

BAMC providers care for more than 4,000 patients each day during visits to its five separate outpatients clinics, including: Fort Sam Houston Primary Care Clinic, McWethy Troop Medical Clinic, Taylor Burk Clinic, the Schertz Medical Home, and the Corpus Christi Occupational Health Clinic.

As a proud partner within the San Antonio Military Health System (SAMHS), BAMC facilities provide comprehensive care for more than 250,000 military beneficiaries living throughout the San Antonio metropolitan area. BAMC and its Air Force partner, the 59th Medical Wing and its Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, forged the SAMHS to optimize military medical resources to better serve Military City USA.

Since 2001, BAMC has played a crucial role in the provision of care for combat casualties wounded in either Afghanistan or Iraq. As the sole verified Level I Trauma Center within the DOD, SAMMC simultaneously provides emergency services during 80,000 emergency department visits annually and serves the premier medical readiness training platform for both the Army and the Air Force; care extends throughout the globe as military providers continue to deploy to combat zones throughout the world.

Forty of the hospital’s beds are designated for the US Army Institute for Surgical Research (USAISR) Burn Center. The Burn Center – verified jointly by the American Burn Association (ABA) and the ACS-COT – serves alongside the Level I Trauma Center to provide emergency services for residents from 22 separate counties in South Texas.

Prominent on the hospital campus, and surrounded by four Fisher Houses, the four-story Center For the Intrepid (CFI) stands as a preeminent extremity injury rehabilitation center. Dedicated in 2007, the CFI was designed to advance rehabilitation and recovery of many our most severely injured combat casualties. Monumental advances in prosthetic care for am putees and functional restoration for patients undergoing limb salvage are among the hallmarks of the CFI.

Scholarship in Action is witnessed daily throughout the medical campus as fellows, residents, and trainees at all levels of medical education and training receive mentorship from an integrated clinical faculty. Graduate medical education is implemented through the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium (SAUSHEC), responsible for overseeing more than 30 ACGME-approved programs.
