Military Treatment Facilities under DHA

Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) under the Defense Health Agency (DHA) are integral components of the U.S. Military Health System (MHS). They provide comprehensive medical care to service members, their families, and retirees.

These facilities are strategically located on military installations worldwide, ensuring accessible and quality healthcare for military personnel.

The DHA, established in 2013, assumed responsibility for the administration and management of MTFs on October 1, 2018. This transition aimed to standardize and integrate healthcare delivery across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, enhancing efficiency and readiness.

MTFs offer a wide range of services, including primary care, specialty care, dental services, and emergency care.

They also play a crucial role in medical readiness, ensuring that military personnel are fit for duty and prepared for deployment.

Additionally, MTFs provide support to military families and retirees, offering services such as behavioral health, physical therapy, and pharmacy services.
