Clinic director Carla Frankart moved to Germany in 2010 as a nurse civilian contractor. Shortly thereafter, she became frustrated with the lack of “Space Available” medical care on base and the headaches of the “pay-and-claim” medical care of the German Economy.

In response, she created the American Medical Center in 2012 to address and help fill the needs of the Americans stationed in the Kaiserslautern Military Community.

As demand for medical services grew, American Medical Center has expanded its on-site medical services to now include four family practice physicians, physical therapy, Psychiatry, Nutritional Counseling, and Veterans Evaluation Services (VES.)
