Good morning IACH Patients,

To improve access to care, we are now posting daily updates on our page about same-day appointment availability, broken down into different categories. These appointments are for any patients assigned a Primary Care Manager at our main hospital only. Soldiers assigned to FHC and AHC offer separate appointments.
To understand the graphic, Family Practice encompasses any clinician that can see both pediatric and adult patients, Soldier Medicine is for those Soldiers assigned to Primary Care at IACH, and Internal Medicine only sees adult patients.

Same-Day Appointment Guidelines:

• Who Can Book: Patients assigned to a Primary Care Manager (PCM) at IACH. Soldiers assigned to Farrelly or Aviation Clinics use separate appointment processes.
• What Qualifies: Illnesses or injuries with a rapid onset (present for less than 5 days) such as fevers, sore throats, pain, migraines, sprains, burns, or cuts.
• What Does Not Qualify: Any illness or injury present for longer than 5 days. These conditions require a future, scheduled appointment rather than a same-day slot.

Check back daily for availability updates.

In our first ceremony, we pinned on the new rank for Sergeant 1st Class David Ryan. SFC Ryan serves as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for our Patient Centered Medical Homes, demonstrating exceptional care and dedication to our patients.

During a second ceremony, we celebrated the advancement of two Healthcare Specialists from our Emergency Department:

Sergeant Conner Phillips (promoted from Specialist)
Staff Sergeant Daniel Orozco (promoted from Sergeant)

The hard work and leadership of these Noncommissioned Officers are vital to our mission of providing top-tier medical care.

Drop a comment below to congratulate SFC Ryan, SSG Orozco, and SGT Phillips on their well-deserved promotions.

NOTICE May 28, 2026 – Garage Elevator Out of Service

Please be advised that the elevator located in the IACH parking garage is currently out of order. A repair project is underway to restore service, however, the timeline for completion is currently unknown.

For patients who require elevator access or wish to avoid stairs, we advise using one of the following alternatives:

• Park on the top level to directly access the skybridge. This walkway connects straight to the 1st floor of the hospital with no elevation change.

• Park in outdoor lot nearest the Physical Therapy Clinic to enter the building on the ground level.

We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue.
