Womack Army Medical Center
Healthcare & Medical Services
Womack Army Medical Center is the Army hospital on Fort Bragg, serving soldiers, their families, retirees and other eligible TRICARE beneficiaries across the region. The current building opened on March 9, 2000, on a wooded 163-acre site, with more than one million square feet of space and 138 inpatient beds. The hospital is named for Bryant H. Womack, a Medal of Honor recipient, and it traces its roots to the Camp Bragg base hospital built in 1918. Womack cares for more than 160,000 eligible beneficiaries, which makes its patient population among the largest in the Army, and it is a verified Level III trauma center with an emergency department that handles tens of thousands of visits a year. Because the hospital sits inside an active military installation, access rules matter: people without a Department of Defense ID card need visitor access, and Womack directs them to the All American Visitor Control Center at the All American Expressway gate. Fort Bragg also lets visitors carrying REAL ID-compliant identification be scanned at its access control points. Patients being admitted must show a valid military ID to confirm eligibility for military health care.
