About the Facility – Naval Health Clinic Quantico Welcome to Healthcare at the "Crossroads of the Marine Corps." Providing health care to the surrounding military community for generations, where the patient is the center of total health care delivery. The Culture of Excellence here consists of four pillars: employee loyalty, customer loyalty, culture, and standards and communication. Peer-led staff teams, assigned to review and address the organization's needs for culture change, integrated these pillars in the hospital's strategic focus. It is our vision to be a premier healthcare organization in the Defense Department, leading transformation in health care, training and research. We believe in the coming decades, military and civilian health care will embrace these principles in American health care. We see the same principles as imperatives while serving as the Department of Defense's flagship community hospital.
