Joint Task Force National Capital Region/Medical - The Future

The Future

Since the successful completion of BRAC, new construction and facilities were installed at the renamed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and a brand new facility was opened in Fort Belvoir, VA — the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital. In March 2012, Army Major General Steve Jones, became the acting Commander of JTF CapMed, having most recently served as the Deputy Commander for JTF CapMed. As Commander of JTF CapMed, Jones assumed responsibility for providing world-class health care to more than 280,000 enrolled beneficiaries within the NCR.

In his new role, Jones has vowed that “NCR Medical will operate as a single entity with a regional, unified perspective for all aspects of healthcare delivery in the Joint Operations Area—to optimize the health and healthcare services for our beneficiary population. There will be one standard of care and access, regardless of where an individual is enrolled or treated, emphasizing a patient and family-centric commitment.”
