NMCCL News & Updates
Help Prevent Flu Spread
The number of flu cases in our state continues to increase. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is reporting that the influenza A virus strain known as subclade K is the most-reported flu virus of the season, and the numbers are growing: https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza is spread mainly by particles containing the virus when people with the illness cough, sneeze or talk. If you must visit the Medical Center during this heightened flu season, we recommend wearing a mask to help reduce the spread of the flu virus especially if you or your loved ones are exhibiting symptoms like coughing/sneezing. Thank you for helping us minimize the spread of flu!

Services Update: Operating Rooms
Elective surgical procedures at Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune (NMCCL) are discontinued through February 2026 as facilities repairs are made to our HVAC system. Construction is also ongoing for the installation of temporary Mobile Operating Rooms which the command expects to be operational in the coming weeks. In the meantime, NMCCL is referring elective procedures out to the network. The NMCCL Trauma Center remains the point of care for stabilization and transport to higher levels of trauma care in compliance with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). Two operating rooms are available for emergency/trauma use, if necessary.
For expectant mothers, prenatal care remains at the NMCCL OB/GYN Clinic and Primary Care Obstetrics. Providers and referral management will work with patients regarding plans for delivery. If delivering at a different medical facility, newborn care will still be provided at the NMCCL Pediatrics Clinic and in the Family Medicine Clinic.
Our patients are incredibly important to us, and NMCCL appreciates our beneficiaries’ continued support of our team prioritizing safety and quality of care. NMCCL is grateful to our many local and regional medical partners who are assisting us in ensuring our patients receive the care they need during this time. As this develops, updates will be made available on this page.
