MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Patient care hours at the 23d Medical Group primary care clinic are expanding until 4:30 p.m., effective Sept. 1, 2017. These new hours are intended to increase timely access to primary care.
Primary care appointments will now be available from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. This includes family health, flight medicine and pediatric clinics. Other services, like pharmacy, laboratory and radiology will also be adjusted to accommodate the new patient care hours.
Patients can book an appointment online using the TRICARE Online Patient portal (www.tricareonline.com) or by calling the clinic at 229-257-2778.
“Adjusting our clinic hours is part of our commitment to provide timely access to care for all our patients,” said Col. Jay Vietas, 23d Medical Group commander. “We understand that everyone’s schedules don’t always fit into the normal appointment times, so we are actively engaged in continuing to increase access to care and enhance our mission to provide medically ready Airmen.”
Vietas also acknowledged that due to the expanded patient hours other customer services sections may experience longer wait times in order to balance the expanded service hours.
