Wilford Hall ER closed! Wilford Hall has closed its emergency department and re-designated the area as an urgent care center (UCC). The UCC is an option for common acute minor medical problems when an individual cannot obtain an appointment with a primary care provider or a clinic is closed. The UCC staff will treat minor illnesses and injuries, such as flu, fever, earaches, nausea, rashes, animal and insect bites, minor bone fractures and minor cuts that require stitches. The UCC is not a substitute for an Emergency Department. San Antonio Military Medical Center (formerly BAMC) is staffed with both Army and Air Force nurses and physicians trained to handle emergencies. If you go to the Wilford Hall UCC with an emergency injury or illness, you will be sent or transported by ambulance to a hospital emergency deparment and this could delay your care. Wilford Hall is dedicated to providing all eligible Department of Defense beneficiaries the best possible patient-centered care. Call 292-7331 for more information. |
