The construction began in 2012 to meet the U.S. Army Medical Command standard in which guidelines to provide medical care are based upon the “Patient Centered Medical Home; a healthcare model whereby patient treatment is coordinated through their primary care physician to ensure they receive the necessary care when and where they need it, in a manner they can understand.
