In January, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center experienced facilities challenges, beginning with frozen pipes bursting from extremely cold weather in the National Capital Region, then two incidents leading to water damage. Overall, fifty rooms and six elevators were damaged. Patients were safely moved to other locations within the medical center or transferred to other hospitals when necessary. Clean-up is complete and repairs are underway. Walter Reed continues to deliver care and admit patients to all wards.
We are grateful for our partners at the Navy Installation Command and the Naval Support Activity Bethesda in addressing these incidents in a timely manner. We remain committed to delivering the high quality, patient-focused care to our service members, retirees, and families.
