The Naval Medical Clinic, New Orleans, was commissioned as an
outpatient service facility September 27, 1978. The Main Clinic and
two Branch Medical Clinics form the Naval Medical Clinic, New
Orleans. The Main Clinic is located at the riverside entrance of the
Naval Support Activity on the Westbank, first floor of the F. Edward Hebert
Hospital.
Branch clinics are located on the first floor of building 601
(Eastbank) Naval Support Activity, and the Naval Air Station, Joint Reserve
Base, Belle Chasse. The quality and quantity of outpatient care
available through these clinics will be maintained at the highest level
possible, depending upon the health care resources available.
The main
clinic and branch clinics can handle urgent medical problems as they
arise. The nearest military treatment facility with an emergency room
is at Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. In cases with
EXTREME or LIFE-THREATENING situations, individuals should go directly to a
civilian hospital that has an emergency room.
