About Us
Tripler Army Medical Center is the largest military medical treatment facility in the entire Indo-Pacific Basin and is the flagship hospital of the United States Indo-Pacific Command. It's also one of the Defense Health Agency’s primary academic medical centers. Tripler's area of responsibility encompasses more than half of the earth's surface. Military treatment facilities throughout the Indo-Pacific refer patients to Tripler, to include hospitals and clinics in Guam, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
Close to 435,000 people are eligible to receive care at Tripler. This includes active duty service members of all branches of service and their family members, military retirees and their family members, and veterans. The referral population also includes residents of U.S. territories and independent Pacific Island nations to include American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau.
Tripler serves as the primary inpatient facility for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA Pacific Islands Health Care System’s outpatient and assisted living facilities are co-located on the Tripler campus. In addition to training uniformed physicians, Tripler also trains civilian physicians whose stipends are paid by the VA.
