PENSACOLA, Fla. – Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Weekend Clinic will be moving from the hospital to Naval Branch Health Clinic Naval Air Technical Training Center on June 1.
Active duty service members in need of non-emergent health care will be able to utilize the Weekend Clinic instead of NHP’s Urgent Care Center, which also opens June 1. Naval Branch Health Clinic NATTC is located on the east side of Naval Air Station Pensacola near the Navy Exchange.
The Weekend Clinic provides primary care services and ancillary services ordered during the course of the visit, to include X-rays, prescriptions and laboratory work. Common symptoms that are seen at the clinic include fever, cough and sore throat.
“The purpose of the Weekend Clinic is to ensure that non-emergent health care is accessible on the weekends for the active duty population in the local area,” said Cmdr. Amy Branstetter, director of Branch Health Clinics, NHP.
The Weekend Clinic will continue to be open Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to noon at the new location and appointments will not be needed. Active duty service members in a student status needing transportation can contact their duty driver for transportation to and from the clinic.
“We still encourage members that are able to wait to see their primary care provider to do so because their medical home team knows them best,” said Branstetter. “However, if they need to be seen on the weekend, the clinic will be there for them.”
