Family Medicine (PCMH)
As one of Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center's (ATAMMC) Primary Care Medical Homes, the Family Medicine Clinic aims to improve the health of our military members, retirees and their families by providing world-class, family- and community-oriented healthcare to our patients.
We also pride ourselves in furthering the education of medical students, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and faculty in the principles of family medicine. The department staff seeks to discover new knowledge that will contribute to the processes and outcomes of military healthcare.

Survivorship
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) defines a Cancer Survivor as anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer from the time of diagnosis through the remainder of life.
The Cancer Survivorship Program at ATAMMC aims to address the comprehensive needs of cancer survivors, ensuring they can lead fulfilling lives after their diagnosis and treatment.
The Survivorship Clinic is here to help you move forward with your life while carefully monitoring your disease.
We understand that you have been through a lot, and we recognize that you may experience new challenges now that your treatment has ended. Our Survivorship advanced practice providers (APPs) are specially trained to help you live your healthiest life.
