Womack Army Medical Center is proud to announce the transition of its Department of Behavioral Health to the Department of Mental Health (DoMH). While the name is changing, the institution’s commitment to the Fort Bragg community isn’t. Patients should not expect any disruption in care; all services and appointment scheduling will continue as normal. This change, in alignment with the Defense Health Agency (DHA), clarifies our mission to provide accessible, compassionate, and clinical treatment for our Soldiers and their Families.
This rebranding is part of a larger movement within the DHA and the Department of War’s (DoW) focus on adopting a "whole person" approach to wellness that encompasses both mental well-being and substance use recovery. The "mental health" designation is a more inclusive term that reflects an evolving and more comprehensive approach to care. It is designed to promote mental well-being as a necessity, ensuring beneficiaries have access to Ready Reliable Care that supports both their readiness and long-term health.
“We want every service member and their family member to know that our primary focus is providing them with the best evidence-based mental health care,” said Deputy Commander of Mental Health Col. La’Shonia White in a press release.

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
