ATTENTION SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Fort
Meade community is in a prime location for those personnel having family members
with special needs. Our close proximity to large medical centers
(Bethesda, Walter Reed, Children's National Medical Center, Johns Hopkins)
accounts for our large numbers of special needs families
assigned. Resources are abundant. There are many medical services
provided by Fort Meade's Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center. Any
services needed, but not provided, are usually referred to Walter Reed Army
Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center (Bethesda), or Andrews Air Force
Base. Kimbrough lost its Emergency Room due to BRAC
initiatives. Anyone on post with an emergency should call
911. They will be taken to the nearest civilian hospital. Commands
located at Fort Meade are fortunate, not only to be in the general vicinity of
National Naval Medical Center (Bethesda) and Walter Reed Army Medical Center
(WRAMC), but to also have a military clinic on the installation. For those
patients having appointments at Walter Reed , a shuttle bus is
available. For information, call the hospital's information desk,
677-8392. National Naval Medical Center (Bethesda) Information
