Home in San Diego, California, NMCSD is a state-of-the-art facility for treatment and care for America’s veterans. The facility is nicknamed, “Balboa,” and has been actively administering support to the needs of patients for over eighty years. The hospital is sometimes deemed the “Pride of the Navy” for the type of care it administers and the quality of the staff and support the hospital offers.
Balboa also prides itself on its research and teaching. The facility works with the University of California in a research capacity and provides advanced educational opportunities in a variety of medical disciplines.
It is this insightful and passionate drive for education from the hospital administration that precipitated the mutally beneficial relationship between Balboa and the TTA. When patients become students, then tend to move through the recovery and rehabilitation process more smoothly. The TTA is proud to operate classrooms at Balboa.
San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) is the combined efforts of two hospitals, Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC), and is one of the primary stops for injured men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The facility houses man of the nation’s critically injured military personnel, and, in response, the facility is housed with some of the finest medical support teams in the country.
From burn survivors to amputees, SAMMC must be able to meet the challenges of helping injured warriors survive their injuries. However, surviving is not thriving, per se, and that is where programs like the TTA’s come into play. The TTA works with the veterans in the hospital to provide education to help them return to work and provide for their families.
The TTA is proud to be serving warriors at SAMMC.
