Oakleaf DC hosts an Annual Staff Wish List Program across Naval Support Activity Bethesda for all departments that provide services related to patient care. Each year we accept requests from the departments for items that “would be nice to have” either for staff education or moral, or to enhance the patient experience. These requests include items that are not allocated for in tight military budgets or for which government funds cannot be spent on.
Each year we we average 20-25 requests and spend between $7000 and $9000 on the program.
