Location and Security Measures in force on the NNMC Campus: If driving, you must enter the Naval Medical Center (NNMC) campus via Center Drive off of Wisconsin Avenue. When stopped by the guards, indicate that you are attending the AGT meeting at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). Be prepared to present a photo ID. NNMC is right across the street from the NIH metro stop (Medical Center, Red Line). After clearing the security check, turn right at the next road (Palmer Road) and continue back to USUHS, which is the last large set of buildings on your left. At the end of Palmer, turn left to enter the underground parking garage. You may park in any garage parking spot not marked as "reserved." The small dinning room is one flight up, and may be reached by taking the outdoor stairs to the Courtyard, or by entering via the security office at the parking garage level.

Additional Security Note: The National Naval Medical Center observes security procedures appropriate to the threat environment. At a minimum, a valid, unexpired picture ID will be required. There may be times when two picture IDs will be required, as well as random interviews and vehicle searches. There may be times when your name must be registered with NNMC Security to get on the base, so register as early as you can for each AGT meeting. The base police also are on the lookout for driving violations. The speed limit on NNMC base is 20 miles per hour - and is strictly enforced. Be sure to come to a full stop and any pedestrian crossing with a stop sign. Pedestrians always have the right of way. You should always stop for pedestrians to cross the street, even at an unmarked crossing.
