Services Rendered

The Appointments Section schedules appointments for family medicine, pediatrics, immunizations, optometry, mammography, and gynecology. The Clinic has specialty providers on a limited basis. All appointments with specialty providers require a referral from the patient's PCM. Once a referral is acquired, the Appointments Section will schedule the appointments for specialists located at the Clinic.

Physical exams for active duty are required beginning at age 30 and every 5 years thereafter. Physicals are done Tuesday through Friday in the Physical Exams Section, Room 200, at the Clinic. Appointments for physicals are scheduled through the Physical Exam office by calling the Clinic information line at 245-3400 and using the prompts to reach the physical exam section, 1st prompt – 1, 2nd prompt – 1, 3rd prompt - 1. The appointments are typically booked 6 - 7 weeks in advance. Completing a physical takes at least 4 weeks. In order to allow enough time to complete a physical, it is necessary to book an appointment well in advance of the required completion date.

School, sports, work, child care and drivers' license physicals all require a scheduled visit. These appointments are scheduled through the central Appointments Section. School physicals are required for all children arriving from outside the state of Pennsylvania. This requirement has been waived for the family members accompanying attendees of the Army War College (AWC). All children (including family members of AWC student) entering 1st, 6th, and 11th grades must have a physical. Please bring the school form with you to your appointment. All children arriving from overseas require a PPD. Children do not need an appointment with a provider to receive the PPD, appointments may be made by calling central appointments for these immunizations. If a child is participating in any sport, it will be necessary to bring a separate form for sports physicals. Drivers' license physical forms can be found in the drivers training booklet. This form must be signed by the applicant in the presence of the provider conducting the physical. If another physical is required within 3 - 6 months and has been done at Dunham, it will only be necessary to bring in the form and leave the information with the PCM for 48 hours, then pick up the form at Outpatient Records or leave info for mailing/faxing of the form.
