The medical clinic uses a new schedule structure for planning appointments. The schedule will incorporate acute, same day appointments in lieu of the 0730-0830 walk in. It is our most sincere hope that this restructuring will alleviate long wait periods that our ill or injured members are currently enduring. Please understand this in no way reduces the access to care for those members in need of medical attention.

Should you find yourself in need of medical attention please call the clinic front desk at 861-6240 and make an appointment. If you have an acute illness or injury you will be assigned an appointment time the same day. If your needs are not acute you will be scheduled as appropriate. Supervisors, please do not simply send your members to the clinic for sick-call, but rather call and give your medical staff the opportunity to effectively triage the needs of the member. As always if there is a medical emergency please call 911.

After hours, active duty personnel must contact the Command Center at (503) 861-6211 to contact the duty HS.
