Beginning Jan. 12, 2026, the IACH Pharmacy will begin a fire-shutter replacement project. The standard customer-service windows will be closed during this work. Pharmacy operations will continue internally, but all patient interaction and prescription pickup will move to a temporary service area directly in front of the pharmacy. Patients should expect longer processing times throughout the construction period.

Available at Irwin Army Community Hospital.

All patients visiting specialty care clinics located on the 2nd floor will check in at the OB/GYN & Well Women’s Clinic front desk. Affected clinics:

Orthopedics • Podiatry • Brace Shop • Optometry • Ophthalmology • Audiology • General Surgery • OB/GYN & Well Women

Ambulatory Surgery and Oral Surgery will continue checking in patients at their respective locations.

The Virtually Integrated Patient Readiness and Remote (VIPRR) care clinic is an urgent care alternative for TRICARE Prime beneficiaries age 12 and older. VIPRR connects patients to credentialed military health providers through the MHS Nurse Advice Line.

Irwin Army Community Hospital has rolled out a new program aimed at making it easier for patients to access same-day appointments in our Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH). Each morning at 7:30 a.m., IACH posts the number of same-day appointments available that day on the hospital’s Facebook page, giving patients an opportunity to secure last-minute openings for medical care without needing to go off-post.
