Welcome to the MHS Medical Library

MML staff are currently on furlough due to a lapse in government funding. Any requests for assistance, including interlibrary loan requests, will be answered once staff return. If you have difficulty with direct access to library resources on this website, access them through your respective service OpenAthens remote access platform. For additional questions, please check our new FAQ page.

For urgent patient care, please contact the Darnall Medical Library at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Military Health System Medical Library provides access to high-quality, evidence-based medical, nursing, and allied health information resources for MHS personnel. The MML ensures that all personnel have access to core, essential resources regardless of duty station. While on the DHA network, no login is necessary to access any library resources. If you're experiencing problems, please connect through your local facility library or respective Military Department OpenAthens Library account.

While all personnel can use MML, if you're stationed at facility with a local facility library, please contact the local library first for guidance on how to access resources. Local libraries often have additional resources not available in the MML.
