Hospital to transition outlying health centers this summer

FORT BELVOIR, Va. (April 25, 2012) -- Fort Belvoir Community Hospital’s new family health centers are slated to open in Fairfax and Dumfries in July 2012.

The current Family Health Centers at Fairfax and Woodbridge will relocate to the new locations, which will serve about 47,000 military personnel and their families who are enrolled in the TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Plus programs.

Both center locations will provide a full range of outpatient, primary and specialty care including laboratory, radiology, and some specialty healthcare services. Additionally, the centers will offer an enhanced health promotions plan including chronic condition management and a pharmacy for eligible patients to use.

“We are excited about the opening of our two new centers and the opportunity to provide our patients with convenient access to healthcare,” said Lt. Col. Joel Meyer, a medical director and transition chief for the move. “During the next few months, we are committed to providing our patients with a smooth and seamless transition as our focus remains on providing world-class healthcare.”

The Fairfax Health Center will be located at 10580 Arrowhead Drive, and the Dumfries Health Center will be located at 3700 Fettler Park Drive. Both sites were chosen based on easy access for patients and visitors as they are close to interstates, major highways and public transportation. Hours of operation at both locations will be Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Delivering safe, compassionate and quality healthcare to our military families is our mission, and the transition to the new Family Health Centers allows us to enhance access to that care,” said Col. Susan Annicelli, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital commander. ​​​​
