The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

If you have a scheduled appointment or other business at the MTF, please verify with your provider or applicable office within the MTF to ensure there are no changes in schedule. To learn how the lapse in appropriations affects your TRICARE benefit, visit www.tricare.mil/shutdown

Getting Care

Visitor Guidelines

Visitors must show their ID card at appointments. 

Our goal is to provide a safe environment where family members can visit patients. In certain situations, we reserve the right to restrict access to patients based on their health and welfare as well as certain communicable disease threat levels within the community. Please keep in mind that our ultimate priority is the safety of our staff and patients. However, there are times when the visitation of family members may not be ideal due to extenuating circumstances. Thank you for your understanding.
