The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many facets of health care are conducted, and Naval Medical Center San Diego's branch health clinics have adapted some of their techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality health care they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality health care services, and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research.
