Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Annapolis!

At NMRTC Annapolis, our mission is to provide a medically ready force – certifying the warfighters that we care for are ready to fight tonight supported by a ready, well-trained medical force. As the former Surgeon General stated, we “provide well-trained People, working as expeditionary medical experts on optimized Platforms operating as cohesive teams demonstrating high reliability Performance to project Medical Power in support of Naval Superiority”. While we are not an operational or expeditionary unit, we are a platform prepared to support expeditionary medicine at any time – and we must ensure our readiness as medical personnel to respond to that call.

Since 1845, NHC Annapolis has been committed to exemplifying the best of Navy Medicine though innovation, quality care, technology, talent management, and leadership. NHC Annapolis provides health support in six locations across three states. At its core is the care and commissioning readiness of the more than 4,400 members of the Brigade of Midshipmen. NHC Annapolis providers contribute to athlete development on and off the field, and support the Naval Academy as team physicians for 33 varsity sports teams and 26 club sports.
