Coming to Landstuhl for care, or supporting someone who is.
A calm, practical look at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) and how to find comfortable off-base housing nearby for patients, families, and Non-Medical Attendants.
What LRMC is
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is the largest U.S. military hospital outside the United States and the only American tertiary medical center in Europe. It is run by the U.S. Army and sits in Landstuhl, just west of Ramstein Air Base, serving the Kaiserslautern Military Community and receiving patients from across the region.
Who travels to Landstuhl
A stay near LRMC can mean very different things depending on why you are here. Common situations include:
- Service members receiving scheduled care or specialist treatment
- Family members staying close during a hospital stay
- Non-Medical Attendants (NMAs) traveling on orders to support a patient
- Incoming staff and their families settling into the KMC area
Where to stay near LRMC
Many guests do not stay in Landstuhl itself but in the wider KMC area, within a short drive of both LRMC and Ramstein. For stays that run days or weeks, a furnished home with a kitchen, laundry, and a bit of space makes a hard week easier than a single hotel room can.
