Welcome to Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center (ATAMMC)
Fort Belvoir Community Hospital now bears the name of Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center (ATAMMC) to honor Lt. Col. (Dr.) Alexander Thomas Augusta, the highest-ranking black officer in the Union Army, the first black professor of medicine at Howard University in Washington D.C. and the first black officer to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
ATAMMC is northern Virginia’s home for world-class military healthcare. In 2007, leaders of DeWitt Health Care Network – the predecessor to ATAMMC – recognized that despite having been named the top medical facility in the Army Medical Department by every metric, they had not achieved the changes in culture needed to continue to move the organization forward. In particular, a cultural change was still needed to prepare the organization for the transition to the new, state-of-the-art facility we’re in today, while integrating with staff from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center Bethesda and Malcolm Grow Air Force Medical Center to become a joint-service Department of Defense community hospital.
From our hospital campus on Fort Belvoir to our branch clinics at the Pentagon and satellite health centers in Fairfax and Dumfries, we are committed to provide each beneficiary with an outstanding patient experience through safe, quality, compassionate care, every day.
