Pensacola Naval Hospital

It started more than 180 years ago - right after the state of Florida got out of diapers. Today, Naval Hospital Pensacola is among one of the oldest and most respected Navy medical facilities in the country.
 
The new fledgling Naval Hospital Pensacola command got off to its start in 1826, months after President John Quincy Adams assigned the first surgeon, and officer in charge, to establish a hospital at the Pensacola Navy Yard.

The current Naval Hospital also has an outside wall around its compound. It was completed in 1976, and continues its mission of providing healthcare and health promotion throughout the region.
 
For more than 30 years, NH Pensacola has been a "teaching hospital." It is home to one of the Navy’s Family Practice Residency training programs where doctors come to earn their Family Practice specialty during three years of academic and hands-on training.
 
NH Pensacola continues to be a significant entity in the area’s medical community by providing healthcare to more than 73,000 Department of Defense eligible family members throughout northwest Florida and south Alabama, and more than 200,000 beneficiaries at its 12 branch medical clinics across four states.  (Source: med.navy.mil/sites/pcola)
