HONOLULU -- Tripler Army Medical Center's Family Medicine Clinic is offering Saturday School & Sports Physicals and Immunizations July 19 and 26 from 8 am to 1 pm for Tripler Family Medicine Clinic enrollees ages four to 18.
Maj. Angelika Chiri, Clinical Nurse Officer in Charge at Tripler's Family Medicine Clinic says hospital staff understands the sometimes busy lifestyle of the typical military family and wanted to offer the convenience of Saturday clinics as a way to help families complete their requirements for the upcoming school year without the worry of parking or traffic.
"This is an awesome opportunity to complete your child's physical before the rush. Saturday clinics are fully staffed to enhance your appointment," she said.
Chiri also says families should be sure to bring immunization records, military I.D. cards and any other pertinent forms or information available for their visit.
BJ Baker, mother to Olivia Baker who is 4-and-a-half, participated in the first of the Saturday Clinic offerings on June 28. "With work and finishing my degree, the weekdays can get pretty busy. Having the option to come here to get Olivia's school physical done on a Saturday is so easy and convenient."
Amber Lang, mother to three-and-a-half-year-old son, Parker, also appreciated the Saturday clinic. "The staff was welcoming and friendly. The clinic was organized and had stations set up to make the appointment more efficient. They also had an immunization nurse who reviewed our records and we were able to get shots updated as well. I highly recommend the weekend clinic," said Lang.
Beneficiaries interested in taking advantage of the special clinic offerings may call 433-2778 to schedule an appointment.
Walk-ins are also accepted until noon.
