The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

During this partial government shutdown, the 355th Medical Group remains open and continues to honor scheduled medical and dental appointments. Our patient appointing service is open and we're still taking requests for appointments. We're doing our best to minimize impact on our beneficiaries and their health care. The clinic’s Primary Care and Specialty Care services are fully operational. Ancillary services (pharmacy, laboratory, radiology) also remain operational. As always, safe and high-quality health care remain our priority. Please call 520-228-2778 to schedule or cancel appointments.

Health Services

Continuous Medical Readiness Cell

We organize the daily care of patients who require completion of their individual medical readiness requirements. We coordinate with unit deployment managers to ensure that members complete an annual face-to-face preventive health assessment, dental appointment, immunizations, required well examinations, and any occupational health requirements specific to that person’s fitness for duty. Members are booked for a daily 7 a.m. appointment with Public Health and report to Lobby 1 of Building 420 for a briefing and receipt of their checklist for accomplishing the list of that day’s medical appointments. Members will be able to see all of their appointments for that day, with exception of Dental, by logging into their TRICARE Online Patient Portal at TRICARE Online. Members are not to cancel their appointments using this tool and must instead coordinate this cancellation through their unit deployment manager.  Members should update their profile in the TRICARE Online Patient Portal application to ensure that they receive the texts and email reminders pertaining to their scheduled appointments.
