As the fourth largest hospital in Navy Medicine, NH Jacksonville serves 215,000 beneficiaries. Each day, its team of 2,500 military and civilian personnel care for about 1,800 outpatients, admits 15 inpatients, cares for 80 people in the ER, performs 14 same-day surgeries, fills 4,700 prescriptions, conducts 4,600 lab tests and delivers 2-3 babies.
