Warrior Medicine Clinic

The Warrior Medicine Clinic (WMC) provides routine, preventive, and acute outpatient care for Active-Duty beneficiaries.  We aim to improve the health of our beneficiary population by providing safe, quality, evidence-based health care. Patients are assigned to Primary Care Providers for their specific military unit. Please have this information available when enrolling for medical care at DGMC.

We manage 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.

Prepare for Your Appointment:

When you see your primary care manager, please prepare by:

• Letting your provider know what medication refills are needed
• 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 707-423-3000 as soon as possible if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment to cancel or reschedule.
