NMCRS Cherry Point
During these uncertain and unprecedented times, NMCRS Cherry Point is ready to assist service members with immediate financial needs. Starting Tuesday, October 14th, Marines and Sailors, with their LES and ID, can walk into our office and request interest-free bridge loans until the government reopens and regular pay resumes. We strongly recommend that service members first contact their financial institution to see if they qualify for paycheck protection program and contact their creditor to see if their payment can be deferred. Spouses may request assistance if their service member is deployed with an ID, LES, and bank deposit information. We are open 0800-1600. NMCRS Cherry Point is located by the PMO Trailers off of "C" street in Trailer 6055. Please contact us at 252-466-2031 with any questions.
1 in 8 Breast Cancer Awareness Month Fitness Challenge
Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point invites you to participate in the 1 in 8 Challenge!
Take the challenge and walk, job or run 8 miles during the month of October to honor the 1 in 8 women diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime. To sign up and report completion, please email Mrs. Emily Corey at email emily.m.corey2.civ@health.mil.
UpdatedChild Seat Safety Events

Is your child's safety seat installed correctly?
