    CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea – A ribbon cutting ceremony was held April 7 at Camp Casey’s Health Clinic to commemorate the renovation of Area I Troop Medical Centers.

    TMCs that underwent renovations include camps Stanley, Red Cloud and Casey. The four-phase renovation to Camp Casey’s TMC cost $3.1 million.

    The upgrades transformed Casey’s TMC into a health clinic that is now more Family oriented.

    “With an increase in command sponsorship in Area I, the changes will better accommodate our increasing population, enabling us to improve our services and increase access to care,” said 1st Lt. Leif Vestermark, a 629th Medical Company Area Support officer and Camp Casey’s Health Clinic executive officer.

    Features include a Family Health Clinic area that will focus on pediatrics and family practice.

    Other renovations and improvements include an electronic pharmacy notification system, baby changing stations, handicap bathrooms, new furniture and an expanded immunization clinic.

    “The new addition of the family care area is nice,” said Michelle K. Rhea, an Area I family member. “I like how I can take my child to a separate area, away from patients who are sick.”

    New features and amenities to the health clinic are not the only things that were added. Staffing at the clinic has increased by 300 percent allowing patients to be seen quicker.

    “We can see more patients faster and with the addition of the phlebotomy room we can provide patients with more privacy,” said Spc. Athanasia R. Ashley, a 629th Medical Company Area Support medical lab technician at Camp Casey’s Health Clinic.

    The new phlebotomy room is where patients will have their blood drawn.

    Camp Casey’s Health Clinic is open to all command and non-command sponsored dependents, Department of Defense civilians and retirees.

    Hours of operations are Monday-Wednesday, Friday 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Thursday 1 - 4:30 p.m. Sick call hours are 6 - 7 a.m. Monday- Friday.
