San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), San Antonio, Texas
In 2005, BRAC recommended the consolidation of Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC) and Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio into one medical region with two integrated campuses known as San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC). SAMMC provides global medical readiness capability supporting Air Expeditionary Forces and in-garrison comprehensive healthcare in a world-class academic environment.
Wilford Hall Medical Center, SAMMC-South, will serve as a large, full-service ambulatory care center with selected medical and surgical outpatient specialties servicing a large beneficiary and trainee population.
SAMMC-North, Fort Sam Houston, Texas
SAMMC-North is a modern state-of-the-art, 450-bed health care facility that provides level-one trauma care and graduate medical education. It is the only level-one trauma center in the Department of the Army. Once consolidation is complete, SAMMC-North will serve as a world-class health science center for inpatient and ambulatory care, continuing to develop and enhance its trauma care, training, and Graduate Medical Education.
