Mission
Our mission is to support the operational readiness of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor by providing superior, customer-focused health services to those entrusted to our care.
About Us
Our clinic operates under Naval Hospital Bremerton which is fully accredited by the Joint Commission, an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving quality care in organized healthcare settings. This national organization conducts hospital surveys to determine how well hospitals are providing healthcare. Naval Hospital Bremerton completed our most recent Joint Commission survey in May 2007, in conjunction with our Medical Inspector General survey. We passed both audits with flying colors and with many laudatory comments. Our branch clinic performs at consistently high standards to ensure Naval Hospital Bremerton maintains this high level of excellence.

Services Available
Primary medical services include outpatient medical care, pharmacy, radiology and laboratory. Appointments can be made by calling the TRICARE Regional Appointment Center at 800-404-4506.
Medical Home Port
You will have an entire team responsible for your healthcare. In addition to your Primary Care Manager (PCM), a Registered Nurse (RN), and a Hospital Corpsman and/or Medical Assistant will be part of your healthcare team.
Additional physicians/providers are also part of the team to fill in during absences. This team will partner with you to fulfill administrative requests and provide additional medical services, coordinating care across multiple settings. This partnership focuses on sustaining and enhancing wellness in our patients as well as efficient delivery of comprehensive, evidence-based health care services and self-management support, based on the needs of our patients.
This model aligns with civilian models of enhanced primary care known as Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). In Navy Medicine, PCMH is known as "Medical Home Port." Your Medical Home Port team can most effectively care for you when you provide a complete medical history and information about any care obtained outside your Medical Home Port practice.
Occupational Medicine
Occupational Medicine is located at 2850 Thresher Ave, where it provides medical surveillance and health exams to Naval Base Kitsap military members and civilians. The department also conducts ergonomic and work site visits of the various commands. Civilians injured on the job should report to the Bangor Branch Clinic. For life threatening events, call 911.
Pharmacy
The pharmacy serves active duty and their family members. Drug information is available upon request. Prescriptions will only be filled for medications which are carried at the clinic. Please allow two days to process prescription refill requests.
S.M.A.R.T. Clinic
The Sports Medicine And Rehabilitation Team (S.M.A.R.T) clinic is for active duty and their family members. It is a referral based clinic that evaluates and treats non-surgical and pre-surgical joint, ligament, and tendon problems.
Dental
The Dental Clinic serves mainly active duty patients, but also provides emergency care to all beneficiaries. Emergency treatment to relieve pain, control infection, or repair trauma for any person is TOP PRIORITY and is available 24 hours a day. Patients who are members of a TRICARE dental insurance plan are urged to contact their civilian dental health care provider for treatment, as emergency dental care is covered under these programs. Active duty family members are to enroll in the TRICARE Active Duty Family Member Dental Plan.
