FORT BELVOIR, VA.-- (May 4, 2018)--
Hundreds of service members at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital gathered before daybreak and celebrated their unique service cultures and bonds as one of the only two joint military medical facilities in the U.S. during a spring formation and uniform transition ceremony May 4, 2017.
A naval tradition since 1817, the formation ceremony signifies the change from fall/winter to spring/summer attire. In a show of solidarity and camaraderie, the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Public Health Service participated in the event as a show of support and to reaffirm the Belvoir Hospital’s distinction of being a national joint military medical facility.
The Belvoir Hospital is a 120-bed, 1.3 million-square-foot military community hospital that serves a regional population of 250,000 personnel with about 100,000 enrollees receiving inpatient and specialty care services supported by 55 specialty clinics, a Warrior Pavilion (for combat injured/wounded/ ill), Inpatient Addictions Program, and three satellite family health centers at the Pentagon, Dumfries and Fairfax, Va.
