By Courtesy

On Thursday, 24 December 2020, Friday, 25 December 2020 and Friday, 1 January 2021 all JBSA-Lackland (Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center-WHASC), JBSA-Randolph, and Gateway Bulverde Medical Treatment Facilities and pharmacies will be closed in observance of the Federal Holidays.

On Monday, 4 January 2021, the JBSA-Lackland (WHASC), JBSA-Randolph, and Gateway Bulverde Medical Treatment Facilities will have limited services available. Our Primary Care Clinics (Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatric, BHOP, Flight Medicine, and WOMC), as well as our Gateway Bulverde Family Practice Clinic, will remain open for same-day prescheduled appointments.  Limited specialty care clinics will be open for prescheduled appointments. Walk-in services will not be available.  Our main pharmacies will be open for same-day appointment services. JBSA-Gateway Bulverde Pharmacy, JBSA-Lackland and Randolph satellite pharmacies will be closed.  Please consider bringing in prescriptions or ordering refills for pick up prior to 23 December 2020, since the week of a holiday is usually extremely busy and results in longer than normal wait times.

San Antonio Military Health System's COVID-19 screening and testing sites will adjust hours of operation to the following:

  • BAMC's site, located in the first floor parking garage, will be closed 24-27 December 2020 and 31 December 2020-3 January 2021.
