tabED now an Urgent Care Center 
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.

tabSan Antonio Military Health System 
The Air Force and Army have come together to operate an effective and efficient integrated regional healthcare system dedicated to providing high quality, patient-centered care that is convenient and accessible to its 230,000 DoD beneficiaries in the San Antonio metropolitan area.

On Sept. 15, 2011, this partnership officially became the San Antonio Military Health System. The SAMHS will provide oversight of the eight military treatment facilities in the greater San Antonio area and will drive increased efficiencies, operational effectiveness and optimize expenditures. The SAMHS is led by Air Force and Army general officers, one director and one deputy director (rotational).
