On Friday, April 1, the 59th Medical Wing will close the Wilford Hall drive-thru COVID-19 Screening and Testing Site.

Starting Monday, April 4, TRICARE eligible beneficiaries can pick up at-home COVID-19 rapid diagnostic test kits. Beneficiaries must present their ID card and can receive up to 8 test kits per month. Pick-up locations and times are:

  • Pick-Up Locations
    • WHASC Atrium (Information Desk located through Entry Door B)
    • Randolph Clinic (Main Entrance Information Desk)
  • Pick-Up Times
    •  Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri. from 8-10 a.m.

For patients in need of a pre-op or pre-procedural test, individual clinics will provide test details prior to surgery. Deployers in need of a test will be provided instructions from their deployment managers.

As an additional option for testing, patients can obtain a test at a community-based site; for locations visit https://covid19.sanantonio.gov/What-YOU-Can-Do/Testing.

Thank you to all our teammates who contributed to this tremendous screening/testing effort. Our sites ensured our beneficiaries and staff were tested in a safe environment, while also easing the burden on our emergency departments and community sites.
