Welcome to Health Safety and Work Life Practice Sector Columbia River. The
Clinic uses a new schedule structure for planning appointments.
The schedule will incorporate acute, same day appointments, in lieu
of the 0730-0830 Sick-Call. There is
no longer Sick-Call. 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 (503) 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.
For after-hours assistance (Active duty personnel only) call the Duty HS at
(503) 338-8751.
*The Duty HS is for after-hours
related healthcare and emergencies only*
If unable to contact the Duty HS call the Sector Columbia River Command
Center at (503) 861-6211.
