This policy adjustment from Active Duty Only is due to an improvement in the blood collection tube supply shortage.

Patients who receive off-base care must use off-base labs such as Quest or LabCorp for collection and testing. The change will begin April 11.

Lab services do not require an appointment.  Hours are Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For more information or to make an appointment, call (850) 883-8600.
