– Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is making significant progress in its recovery efforts following a series of infrastructure failures in January. Since the January 11 break of a base water main supplying the facility, Walter Reed also experienced a steam leak that temporarily shut down its Sterile Processing Department (SPD) and a major sprinkler pipe burst that released approximately 60,000 gallons of water into the walls, ceilings, and floors of five connected buildings.
