The Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital at 29 Palms, commissioned on July 9, 1993, is a state-of-the-art, 160,000 square-foot facility. The architectural firm who designed the hospital was awarded the Secretary of Defense's "Excellence in Design" award for a medical facility in 1994. Our hospital is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). Accreditation is a professional recognition of hospitals which strive to provide high-quality health care.

The hospital was recently realigned to be a 12-bed facility with the capacity to expand using swing beds. The hospital has an Emergency Medical Department, four operating rooms, and a seven-bed Desert Beginnings Labor Delivery Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP) Unit, and a Multi-Service Ward (MSW) for inpatient care. Modern full-service pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, preventive medicine departments as well as physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics are also available to beneficiaries.

Medical services available at the hospital include Audiology, Nutrition Clinic, Family Medicine/Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Immunization Clinic, Obstetrics/Gynecology, General Surgery, Orthopedics, Optometry, and Mental Health Services.

Specialty support and referrals for major inpatient and outpatient care not available locally are often provided by one of the local network hospitals such as, Hi-Desert Medical Center in Joshua Tree, Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, Loma Linda University Medical Center and Naval Medical Center San Diego.

Medical support in some complex cases may not be readily available. Family members and retirees may be referred to civilian sources of care, using benefits covered under one of the TRICARE programs.

Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to assist service members in providing for the special needs of their exceptional family members before, during and after relocation. Special needs include any special medical, dental, mental health, developmental or education requirement, wheelchair accessibility, adaptive equipment or assistive technology devices, and housing.

The EFMP is open to any active duty family member who meets certain criteria. Enroll according to your military branch affiliation. For Navy beneficiaries please contact the Patient Administration Department (760) 830-2038/2427/2453. For beneficiaries please contact the EFMP Coordinator at the Marine Corp Base Twentynine Palms Village Center (760) 830-7740.
