Madigan
Army Medical Center
Madigan
Army Medical Center, with a military beneficiary population encompassing a
six-state region, occupies more than 120 acres of land. This four-building
structure is located at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, WA.
There are approximately 160,000
Soldiers, family members and military retirees residing in Madigan's 40-mile
catchment area. Madigan's phenomenal health care mission is executed by nearly
4,000 staff members, which include hundreds of civilian and military doctors,
nurses, residents, interns and fellows. Madigan also boasts a robust internal
American Red Cross program. There are approximately 200 volunteers who donate
thousands of hours of free service monthly.
As one of the Army’s most
state-of-the-art and technically advanced medical centers, Madigan is one of
only three designated Level 2 trauma centers throughout the U.S. Medical
Command (MEDCOM). Recently, Madigan’s Andersen Simulation Center, which helps
train thousands of doctors, nurses and medics each year, received a three-year
accreditation from the American College of Surgeons, becoming the only Defense
Department medical educational institution to attain that status. Madigan’s
simulation center is one of only 21 surgical simulation centers in the U.S. to
achieve a level one status, the highest for a center of surgical education
excellence.
