Our Purpose
We collaborate with and support:
- Joint Staff;
- Combatant Commands;
- Service Medical Departments;
- Uniformed Services University;
- Department of Veterans Affairs;
- civilian health systems; and
- allied nations.
Everything we do—clinical care, education & training, logistics, research, information systems, and enterprise management—is to generate and sustain warfighter readiness.
Our unified, integrated health services, designed and executed for warfighters, help us meet our obligations anytime, anywhere. Warfighter medical readiness and medical warfighting capability are our purpose.
Our People
Our military hospitals and clinics are the crown jewel of the Military Health System. Our ability to save lives is our calling. Our workforce enables every military service branch to meet the unique, readiness-driven demands of our warfighters.
We deliver timely, high-quality health care to keep the human weapon system healthy, deployable, and lethal. Our actions directly impact how many warfighters our country can deploy—and how many medical warriors are prepared to deploy alongside them, keeping them fit to fight and return home safely.
We deliver joint warfighting capabilities—medical logistics, IT infrastructure, trauma systems, research, pharmacy, and blood support—that directly affect survivability and lethality. Our integrated system ensures every warrior wearing the cloth of our nation is medically ready to answer the call at a moment’s notice.
Our Commitment
We exist to sustain warfighters. We deliver health services at home and during combat operations to ensure warfighters are medically ready to deploy, fully supported throughout operations, and rapidly returned to duty.
We enable the lethality of our joint Services through warfighter medical readiness. We provide medical skills and services across a mission-ready health system.
Our commitment does not stop there. We ensure warfighters remain focused on their mission by giving them the confidence their families will always receive world-class, timely, high-quality care wherever and whenever they need it.
Every day, we strive to deliver a health system worthy of the warriors we serve, our partners in the combatant commands, the military services we support, and all our families and beneficiaries.
