52 Welcome to the U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr. health. humanity. hand in hand. Hospital St. Marien Amberg The St. Marien Hospital in Amberg has a long tradition of serving American communities in the greater Amberg region. As a Tricare Network Facility and as one of the main medical hospi- tals in the area we provide top-notch medical support to US soldiers, their families, retirees and DOD personnel. We work very closely with the US Medical Clinics on the military instal- lations in the region. Your physicians and staff cooperate very closely with our medical staff. We have an agree- ment to report medical findings and treatment recommendations to the military Primary Care Managers either on the day of care or within just a few days at most. This allows your military physician to manage your care without delay. It is our supreme goal to make our American patients feel welcome and comfortable. Our hospital has 598 beds and covers with its broad medical spectrum all domains of a modern, differentiated tertiary care. We ensure medical care at highest level and offer specialized med- ical services in 17 departments (Gener- al, Visceral, Thoracic Surgery; Vascular Surgery; Trauma Surgery and Ortho- pedics; Obstetrics and Gynecology; Pediatrics; Internal Medicine I, II, III and IV; Neurology; Neurosurgery; Urology; Anesthesia and Operative Intensive Care; Radiotherapy; Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology; Institute for Laboratory Medicine and Microbiology and Pain Therapy) and four in-patient divisions (Ophthalmology; ENT; Oral and Facial Surgery; Orthopedics).
