Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) is the Flagship of Army Medicine! BAMC is the organization, people and command comprised of nine separate facilities including our inpatient, outpatient, rehabilitative and troop leadership components. Our inpatient component is the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC).
Our outpatient component includes the Fort Sam Houston Clinic, McWethy Troop Medical Clinic, Taylor Burk Clinic, Schertz Medical Home and the Corpus Christi Army Depot Occupational Health Clinic. Our rehabilitative component is the Center for the Intrepid. Our troop leadership component includes the Warrior Transition Battalion and the Troop Command. The integrated team of Army, Air Force, Civilians, Contractors and Volunteers make BAMC the place where Amazing is Routine! We are part of a rich history here at BAMC that dates back to 1879 when the first Post Hospital opened as a small medical dispensary located in a single-story wooden building. During the early years the Post Hospital was in temporary structures, and it was not until 1886 that the first permanent hospital was built. In 1908 an 84-bed Station Hospital was constructed on the west side of the post.

On Sept. 15, 2011, the two largest military medical facilities in San Antonio underwent historic name changes, marking the start of a new era in San Antonio military medicine. The San Antonio inpatient mission was moved to BAMC and the name was changed to San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC). At the same time, Wilford Hall Medical Center was redesignatedWilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center (WHASC).

Also on Sept. 15, 2011, the San Antonio Military Health System began operations. The new organization will provide oversight to BAMC and WHASC and will have rotating Air Force and Army general officers as director and deputy director.
