SAN ANTONIO - TRICARE beneficiaries on the Northside of the city of San Antonio no longer have to drive across town to receive services at a military treatment facility. Since the opening of the North Central Federal Clinic, members have more convenient access to a wide range of services closer to home.
"I like to get my care at North Central Federal Clinic. I always can find a parking spot, and the wait [time] to be seen by my doctor is usually minimal" said one NCFC patient.
"They even have a lab where you can get your blood drawn and a pharmacy for medications," he added.
The North Central Federal Clinic provides health care services to approximately 12,000 veterans and TRICARE beneficiaries annually. Services include primary care, nutrition counseling, pharmacy services, laboratory, radiology, outpatient mental health, social work, patient education services and more.
Although the one-story facility may be modest in size, the standards for quality of care is on par with all military treatment facilities.
"I have to admit it (NCFC) is better than going to the major facilities around town," said another patient. "Unless it is an absolute emergency, I'll stick with NCFC for all my needs."
Services are appointment-based. To schedule an appointment, call 210-483-2929 or 866-909-5731. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Wednesdays 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Clinic does not provide emergency care services. In case of a medical emergency, call 911 or a local emergency medical service.
