AFMS - Eglin - 96 Medical Group

AFMS - Eglin - 96 Medical Group The first Eglin medical facility opened its doors in March of 1942 and was located on Fourth Street on Eglin Main Side.

In the early 1960's, the Air Force recognized the need for a new, more modern facility. Boatner Road was chosen as the location and the new facility was completed in November 1967. By 1969, the hospital's multiple mission responsibilities such as research and education led to its rededication as a Regional Hospital. In 1973, the USAF Regional Hospital hosted a ground breaking ceremony for the expansion of its outpatient facilities giving the facility its pre-modern look. The new millenium saw the final expansion of outpatient facilities and gives the modern look you see today. Located near the West Gate of Eglin Air Force Base, the 96th Medical Group provides comprehensive medical care to approximately 83,000 eligible beneficiaries (active duty military members, retirees, and their families). The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission. It currently has a six-bed intensive care unit and a 53-bed facility. As a teaching facility, the hospital has an active residency program in dentistry and family practice medicine allowing residents the opportunity to develop and enrich their clinical and academic capabilities. The 96th Medical Group provides a wide variety of outpatient services and presently supports one of the larger outpatient workloads in the Air Force.
