The Westover Medical Home on the Northwest side of San
Antonio is scheduled to open in August. TRICARE beneficiaries who would like to
enroll at the new medical home can do so starting Wednesday.
“We encourage people to enroll as soon as possible, so they
will be sure to obtain a spot at the new location,” said Anthony O’Bryant,
clinic administrator.
Beneficiaries who sign up for care at the new clinic will
need to see their provider at the Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston
Clinic or the Taylor Burk Clinic at JBSA-Camp Bullis until the clinic opens.
“People may be a little inconvenienced in the interim, but
we feel it will benefit them in the long term,” O’Bryant said.
The 12,500-square-foot community-based medical home will
house 13 board-certified providers with varied backgrounds and a multitude of
experience to serve their patients. People will also have the benefits of
on-site laboratory capabilities and a drive-through pharmacy.
The address is 10010 Rogers Crossing, which is located off
State Highway 151 and Westover Hills Boulevard.
“We use a team approach to health care with licensed
vocational nurses, registered nurses and physicians all working together to
take care of our patients,” O’Bryant said. The clinic will see patients from
two weeks old and up.
“We hope that the addition of this new patient-centered
medical home on the Northwest side of San Antonio will be of great value to our
military beneficiaries on that side of town,” O’Bryant said.
“We want our military beneficiaries to take advantage of
what military medicine offers. We want to be their first choice for health
care,” he added “Our intent is always to provide the best access to military
medicine for our beneficiaries.”
Westover is one of nearly a dozen military medical clinics
across San Antonio and one of several community-based medical homes designed to
offer convenient, high quality care to military families throughout the
region.
