Fort Belvoir’s DeWitt Army Community Hospital is the central facility of a comprehensive health care network serving active and retired military personnel and their families residing in Northern Virginia. The DeWitt Health Care Network is recognized as the primary care base for the Walter Reed Health Care System.
In addition to the 45-bed hospital, DeWitt operates four primary care clinics called family health centers. The Family Health Care Clinics of Fort Belvoir and Fort Myer are located on military installations. The Family Health Centers of Fairfax and Woodbridge are community-based.
The DeWitt Health Care Network is wellness oriented and patient focused. It serves more than 86,000 beneficiaries. Active-duty personnel, with their unit commander’s approval, can choose to enroll in TRICARE Prime at any military medical facility in the area. Service members are strongly encouraged to have all of their health care needs managed by the clinic where they are enrolled. Calling for a same-day appointment is the preferred method of receiving care for urgent medical conditions. Active duty members who cannot call ahead for a same-day appointment must sign in no later than 7:15 a.m., Monday through Friday.
Mental health services are co-located with each family health center. Outpatient mental health and access to the specialized mental health services in local military medical centers is one of the benefits available to military families in Northern Virginia. DeWitt is the designated site for Adolescent Partial Hospitalization, an innovative program designed for teens who do not need long-term residential treatment but who do require more intensive and structured care than outpatient therapy. Adult inpatient and partial programs are provided through Walter Reed Army Medical Center. National Naval Medical Center, in Bethesda, Md., provides adolescent inpatient services. Malcolm Grow Medical Center at Andrews Air Force Base offers substance abuse inpatient and partial hospitalization programs.
DeWitt hospital facilities include an intensive care unit, medical/surgical ward, labor and delivery, mother/baby ward, and emergency room. In addition to the main pharmacy, DeWitt operates a Pharmacy Refill Annex in Fort Belvoir’s Main PX.
