Urgent Care / After Hours Care
The clinic has one Duty Health Services Technician available 24 hours a day at the clinic. The clinic is not equipped or staffed as an emergency room. The Health Services Technician remains at the Clinic to assess all acute and urgent care issues. In all cases, the duty Duty Health Services Technician will consult with the Duty Medical Officer VIA PHONE to determine the urgency of the case, and provide the appropriate level of care within their capability. The Medical Officer is not available for personal medical evaluations after hours. All urgent care issues will be treated as such, and appointments will be given for all non-emergency cases. Emergency care is limited to stabilizing patients and coordinating with civilian EMS for transfer to a local hospital, or providing information and directions for appropriate civilian care facilities. The clinic rescue vehicle is not an ambulance but can provide First Responder / Basic Life Support services in response to on-base emergencies.

In emergency situations when conditions do not permit the use of these facilities, the nearest local hospital can and should be used. The Air Station clinic must be notified within 24 hours of receiving emergency care. This will help ensure proper processing of any medical bills, and that proper follow up care is provided.
