Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, also known as the "Nation’s Hospital," is one of the largest military medical centers in the country. It takes approximately 7,000 in staff to keep the facility running smoothly while providing excellent medical care, so you're not alone if your military family is headed there on orders.
After serving thousands of patients for over 100 years in the heart of D.C., the hospital made a big change and moved to its location in Bethesda, Maryland, a few miles north of the capital.
But this is great news for you. Bethesda is a bedroom community outside D.C. and is considered one of the wealthiest and most educated cities in America, making this area in Maryland a great place to work. And with this being your new office, you have a variety of places to live. For starters, there’s Bethesda of course, but if you don’t mind commuting, there are a couple of towns further north that you might find slightly more affordable and a little quieter, like Gaithersburg and Germantown.
