                                       Welcome to NMRTC Bethesda


 
Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Bethesda's mission is to maximize warfighter performance through optimized medical readiness tailored to operational requirements; enhance the readiness of the medical force to sustain expeditionary medical capability; train and develop the Navy Medicine force. Every member of my command adds value to our mission,
 
I need you to be ready!

I want to tee you up for success:
 
Team Bethesda. We are a Navy family and everyone on this team will be treated with respect and dignity. Look out for your shipmates and do what is right to help each other and the mission. Regardless of our rank or level of professional expertise we are constantly learning. It's OK to ask for help while honing your professional trade and caring for our nation's warfighters. I
encourage you to communicate effectively when sending and receiving feedback. Together, we can grow even stronger in our skill sets and abilities as we foster partnership and accountability amongst each other.

Practice Excellence. We are committed to excellence in all that we do, no matter what the task. We must acknowledge areas that require improvement and tackle them with integrity and enthusiasm to be successful as a ready medical force. Do not be afraid to make mistakes; always do what's right, not what is convenient, even when no one else is looking. Speak the truth; honesty with yourself and your shipmates in reporting readiness is everyone's responsibility and only makes us better. We will learn, we will teach, we will apply our experiences to better serve the warfighters who entrust their care to us.

The Road of Endurance. Our readiness, our preparedness, and our ability to respond is an ongoing duty. Every member of our team must be physically, mentally and professionally ready for the mission requirements that are and will continue to come before us. Take care of yourself and your families to be ready for the fight. Leaders, be available to your team and help to guide and mentor your Sailors to be the best they can be, ready for the challenges of our mission sets.
 
Our command has a legacy of providing outstanding care to our nation's warfighters and their families both in the military hospital setting and operationally forward deployed.
 
I am extremely proud to be your Commanding Officer and look forward to our continued success! ​
