Flight Medicine

The Flight Medicine Clinic provides routine, preventive, and acute outpatient care for enrolled Active-Duty Service Members.  We aim to improve the health of our beneficiary population by providing safe, quality, evidence-based health care.
We manage many chronic conditions. If any condition is beyond the scope of practice of clinicians in our clinic, patients will be referred to a specialist within DGMC or to TRICARE network.

Acute Appointments
Acute appointments can be scheduled for conditions lasting less than 24-hours.
 Acute appointments are for non-life-threatening illnesses that require patients to be seen by a clinician within 24 hours.  Please call 707-423-7295 or walk into Flight Medicine Clinic to request a same-day appointment.
For severe conditions, threatening loss of life, limb or eyesight, go to the nearest ER.

AFMAN 41-210/4.11.4.: Unit commanders and supervisors have the authority to grant up to 24 hours sick status at their discretion if a member’s illness/injury does not require military treatment facility (MTF) intervention.

Prepare for Your Appointment
When you see your primary care manager, please prepare by:

• Bringing a current medication list
• Letting your provider know what medication refills are needed
• Bringing a blood sugar log if you are diabetic
• Bringing a blood pressure log if you have hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Making a prioritized list of any concerns or questions

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time due to allow for any gate delays and unpredictable travel time, especially during inclement weather. While out of our patients’ control, delays can put the patient at risk of losing their appointment slot and needing to be rescheduled. In addition, early arrival allows you the time to fill out any appointment paperwork. Please call 707-423-7295 as soon as possible if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment to cancel or reschedule.
