How can we help you today? 
 

Patient Relations/Advocate 

Patient advocates advise and help you with medical and dental benefit concerns within this facility. Customer service advocates (CSA) in clinics/wards/offices help to correct customer service issues for patients and their family members at the lowest possible level. If you have a concern, please speak with a CSA. For concerns that are unable to be resolved by a CSA or require follow-up, please speak with a patient advocate in the Patient Relations office. We welcome your concerns, suggestions, and compliments.  

For disability access and accommodation requests, concerns or suggestions, please contact our Chief Experience Officer at dha.bethesda.walter-reed-med-ctr.mbx.patient-relations@health.mil
