Dwight D. Eisenhower
Army Medical Center
http://www.ddeamc.amedd.army.mil
(706) 787-5811, DSN 773-5811
Building 300
Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center's mission is to provide World Class comprehensive and compassionate care to our Nation's Warriors, their families, retirees and all other directed beneficiaries, while maintaining unit and personal readiness to meet the demands of our Nation. It is the regional referral center for military treatment facilities within the Southeast Regional Medical Command. Specialty clinics open to all Department of Defense beneficiaries without co-pay includes: allergy, audiology, cardiology, cardio-thoracic, endocrinology, eye-ear-nose-throat, gastroenterology, gynecology, hematology/oncology, infectious disease, internal medicine, neuropsychology, neurosurgery, nephrology, occupational therapy, ophthalmology, optometry, orthopedics, plastic surgery, podiatry, pulmonary disease, radiology, rheumatology, sleep clinic, urology, vascular lab, vascular surgery, wound care and hyperbaric medicine. Eisenhower has a 20-bed inpatient Residential Treatment Facility for active military with substance or alcohol abuse issues. The daily average workload includes 2,750 outpatient visits, 70 inpatients, and 3,200 prescriptions filled. The Fort Gordon/Augusta community consists of approximately 47,000 beneficiaries enrolled for care at the medical center. This includes active military and their family members, and retirees and their family members.

The Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center and Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center actively participate in numerous DoD/VA sharing agreements for the provision of medical care to both DoD and VA beneficiaries. Current initiatives include cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, OB/GYN services, hyperbaric medicine, intensive care bed services, and gastroenterology services. These agreements yield great benefits for both facilities and their beneficiaries and Charlie Norwood Veterans Administration Medical Center and DDEAMC continue to build on their sharing initiatives as professional capabilities increase.

Eisenhower has a number of training affiliations with healthcare organizations throughout the State of Georgia. Professional and paraprofessional trainees from these institutions participate in educational opportunities at Eisenhower. Likewise, Eisenhower's graduate medical and professional trainees, as well as enlisted technical trainees, rotate through hospital facilities throughout Georgia to gain the broadest educational experience available. Participating hospitals and clinics in Augusta and throughout the state include the Medical College of Georgia, Emory University School of Medicine/Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta @ Scottish Rite, Doctors Hospital, Trinity Hospital, Foot and Ankle Group of Augusta, Memorial Medical Center (Savannah), Memorial Children's Hospital (Savannah), University Hospital, Willingway Hospital (Statesboro), and Windmere Nursing Home. Some examples of medical trainee exchanges include rotations in anesthesia nursing, internal medicine, family medicine, orthopedic training for foot and ankle treatment, neurosurgery, clinical pastoral training, surgery, psychiatry and drug and alcohol treatment. These affiliations for training have proved to be mutually beneficial to both Eisenhower and the various affiliate institutions and greatly contributed to Eisenhower's mission of providing and promoting readiness, health, and training.

DDEAMC also partners with Humana Military Health Care Services for the provision of health care services to DoD beneficiaries. As the Managed Care Support Contractor for the TRICARE South Region, HMHS is responsible for development and maintenance of the local network of civilian hospitals and providers, and is responsible for the payment of claims for medical services delivered by network facilities and providers. Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center has the gold seal of approval from the Joint Commission.
