By (Courtesy article)

On Thursday, 26 November 2020, all JBSA-Lackland (Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center-WHASC) and JBSA-Randolph Medical Treatment Facilities and pharmacies will be closed in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.

On Friday, 27 November 2020, the JBSA-Lackland (WHASC) and JBSA-Randolph 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 (located at the intersection on Hwy 281 and Overlook Parkway), 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.

On Friday, 27 November 2020, JBSA-Lackland (WHASC) and JBSA-Randolph 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 November, 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 26-27 November 2020.

JBSA-Lackland's site, located in the first floor parking garage, will be closed 26-27 November 2020.

JBSA-Randolph's site at the Randolph clinic, will be closed 26-27 November 2020.

For medical emergencies, dial 911 or visit your nearest Emergency Department. As a reminder, the JBSA-Lackland (WHASC) Family Emergency Center and Brooke Army Medical Center Emergency Departments are open 24 hours/day.

For non-urgent medical questions, the Nurse Advice Line offers nursing advice by phone, chat, or video and can be reached at 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273). Non-Active Duty patients may visit your nearest Urgent Care Center, without a referral, for urgent medical concerns.
