The creation of the ne w Walter Reed NationalMilitary Medical Center ( WRNMMC) is an in-credible opportunity not onl y for military medi-cine but also for the nation’s academic medicalenterprise. The Military Health S ystem (MHS)represents the best in medicineinits care for ourtroops and their f amilies. It bring s to this mis-

sion the talents and commitment of its people,an extraordinary medical records system, ninemillion capitated liv es, and a unique health sci-ences univ ersity – the Uniformed Serv ices Uni-v ersity of the Health Sciences (USU), located in

Bethesda, Mary land.“The Uniformed Serv ices Univ ersity of the

Health Sciences pla ys a unique role in the Feder-al health system and in its integ ration of educa-tion, research and clinical care – the threeleg s of an academic health center,” said Dr. Charles L.Rice, president of USU, in describing the univ er-

sity ’s mission. “USU is also unique in our coremission to interact substantiv el y and on multi-ple lev els w ith other Federal health agencies;certainl y the three armed serv ices, but also theU.S. Public Health Serv ice.”

The Cong ressionall y mandated Ma y 2005Base Realignment and Closure Commission di-rected the establishment of a w orld-class aca-demic health center on the g rounds of the Na-tional Nav al Medical Center and the USU cam-pus in Bethesda. The Univ ersity w ill be the aca-demic core of the ne w Walter Reed National Mil-itary Medical Center ( WRNMMC), w hich is env i-sioned to be a w orld-reno w ned biomedical re-search, education and patient care f acility .

The WRNMMC w ill be located across thestreet f rom the nation’s premier biomedical re-search institution , the National Institutes ofHealth (NIH). The co-location of these tw o ex -traordinary public health resources prov ides theopportunity for a ne w model of cooperation be-tw een federal departments and the creation of ane w model for the U.S. academic health centerthe Academic Health Center of the 21st century .

This ne w AHC model w ill focus on lifetimecare, health promotion and disease prev entioninteg rate serv ices, education and research, anddev elop ne w and innov ativ e w a ys to deliv er ne w

discov eries to those in the MHS as w ell as therest of the population in the U.S. and, indeedthe w orld.

In a recent article in the A ssociation of A meri-can Medical Colleges publication, the “ AAMCReporter,” Dr. S. Ward Casscells, the DoD A ssis-tant Secretary for Health stated: “ W hile USUHScontinues to educate and train the essentiahealth care prov iders for toda y's challenges, italso is deepl y eng aged in env isioning its f utureThe univ ersity's leadership is w orking closel y w ith academic medicine and w ith defense de-partment leaders to redefine its role as a leaderin not simpl y military health care but also as ake y collaborator in bringing together the re-sources of the federal gov ernment to improv e

health care research and deliv ery to our nation's w arriors and our nation at large.

“…Combining USU, Walter Reed A rm y Med-ical Center, the National Nav al Medical Centerand elements of the A rmed Forces Institute ofPatholog y into the Walter Reed National MilitaryMedical Center ( WRNMMC) w ill create a w orld-class academic medical system that deliv ers thehighest-quality care, disting uished health edu-cation, and ex emplary clinical and global re-search.

“The centralized, ex panded capabilities of the WRNMMC w ill offer students, residents, and fel-lo ws the opportunity to train as the y w ill deplo yin a multi-serv ice env ironment, emphasizingand capitalizing upon the streng ths and tradi-

tions of each branch of military serv ice.“In addition, the location of the federal flag-

ship research institution, the National Institutesof Health, directl y across the street prov ides aunique and extraordinary opportunity for feder-al gov ernment agencies and departments to col-laborate on biomedical research, patient careand health profession education. This v ision of aunified federal effort to adv ance health promo-tion and disease prev ention through f undamen-tal and clinical research, education, and patientcare is one that I hope to help nurture intof ruition.”
