Another new clinic site, MCMH Wallace Creek, will open its doors later this year to another 6,000 Marine and Sailors.
The clinic will officially receive patients in July staff will be prepping equipment, training, and moving employees into their spaces over the next few weeks. MCMH Hadnot Point will serve approximately 7,000 active duty with 2nd Marine Division. “The MCMH represents an opportunity to consolidate and enhance access to care in close proximity to our Marines and Sailors in their operational units.” “Up until now, delivering care in outlying clinics has been somewhat challenging as it has been dispersed throughout the base in aged and outdated clinics,” said Miles.
Navy Lieutenant Matthew Miles serves as the Defense Health Agency’s Project Officer for several MCMH construction projects aboard Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. These state-of-the-art clinics are scheduled to open throughout the next few years. Since 2013, the Defense Health Agency has worked closely with Navy and Marine Corps counterparts to visualize and build Marine Centered Medical Homes (MCMH).
Active duty service members aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune will soon have closer options for their health care needs.
