Good morning IACH Patients,

To improve access to care, we post daily updates about same-day availability, broken down into appointment categories. These are for patients assigned a Primary Care Manager at our main hospital only. Soldiers assigned to Farrelly Health Clinic and Aviation Health Clinic offer separate appointments.

If we do not have an appointment that meets your needs, for non-emergency concerns please consider the MHS Nurse Advice Line or the VIPRR clinic for guidance and same-day care options. The NAL and the VIPRR clinic are available Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM, connecting you with a registered nurse who can schedule you for a same-day virtual appointment with a licensed VIPRR provider. Call 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273).

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.

USNORTHCOM directed additional security measures across all CONUS installations. Employees, residents, and visitors should plan for increased security measures across post and possible longer waiting times entering the installation. We ask that the community be patient and courteous during this time. There are currently no credible threats to Fort Leavenworth or the greater Kansas City region.
