Base clinic moves into 21st century

  • Published
A kick-off ceremony outside the clinic Tuesday signaled the start of a $28.9 million renovation project reconfiguring the building, which currently houses ancillary services. 

"We're going to take this 1967 hospital, and convert it to a 21st century outpatient clinic," said Col. Shari Silverman, 78th Medical Group commander. "It will not only be more energy-efficient, but it will have a better flow for our patients." 

The four-phase project is projected to take two years. 

The first phase begins March 10 with various personnel sections moving into temporary facilities starting March 2. 

For Public Health customers, hearing booths will not be operational from March 9 through 10. 

Anyone requiring a hearing exam on those days should report to the Audiology Clinic in Bldg. 207. For questions, call 497-8019.
