The mission of the Health Services Division, Health, Safety and Worklife (HSWL) Department, Base Portsmouth is to provide quality health care for active duty personnel to maintain fitness for duty. We will also provide authorized health care services for family members and retirees to the maximum extent permitted by law and resources.
MEDICAL CARE: As part of an ongoing trend in Coast Guard healthcare, we are now operating under an all-appointment based system of patient management. Instead of seeing patients that walk in that day in a group at a certain time (sick call); the clinic reserves a number of same day acute appointments for patients who are ill that day. Please call in the morning for one of these appointments. Patients are NOW REQUIRED to call (instead of walk in) 483-8596 and obtain time to report. The telephone appointment lines open at 0700. This system has been demonstrated to decrease waiting time and improve customer service. AT NO TIME WILL AN URGENTLY ILL OR URGENTLY INJURED PATIENT BE REFUSED TREATMENT.
