JOINT BASE CHARLESTON –
Naval Health Clinic Charleston and the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center celebrated the grand opening of the new Captain John G. Feder Joint Ambulatory Care Clinic Nov. 10.
The newly constructed outpatient clinic located on Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station is a state-of-the-art, 188,000 square-foot facility. The clinic is shared by the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, with the DoD component of the clinic being managed by Navy Medicine personnel.
Working together, Navy Medicine and the VA can provide better patient and family centered care for service members, retirees and their family members. This arrangement also helps ease the transition from service member to veteran. In many instances, the service member who retires and stays in the area can receive the same quality medical care from the same practitioners at the same facility that he or she has grown accustomed to.
The new Captain John G. Feder JACC is one of only a few joint facilities in existence and the only facility with this exact resource sharing framework.
Services provided at the new facility include Primary Care, Ob/GYN, Physical Therapy, General Surgery, Aviation/Undersea Medicine, Behavioral Health, Preventive Medicine, Occupational Health, MRI, Cardiology, Audiology, Orthopedics, Optometry/Ophthalmology, Wellness, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Lab services, Pediatrics and Pharmacy.
