The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has cut ties with the community of Catholic priests that have administered religious rights to service members and veterans at the hospital for two decades.

Walter Reed Medical Center, one of the most prominent military hospitals in the United States, issued a cease and desist letter on March 31, informing the Franciscan priests and brothers of the nearby Holy Name College Friary that they must stop their religious services for service members and veterans at the hospital.
