MCGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. –
The 305th Medical Group opened the Joint Minor Illness and Injury Center, formerly the Urgent Care Center, Jan. 19.
The JMIIC offers a variety of after-hour, minor illness and injury care.
Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 5 to 8 p.m., Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and holidays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The JMIIC operates on a walk-in basis for TRICARE Prime beneficiaries. The JMIIC is co-located with the Immunizations Clinic on the first floor of the medical group, and is staffed by a team composed of a physician, a nurse, two medical technicians, a laboratory technician and a radiology technician.
It is equipped to handle non-emergency, acute minor illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention and is not to be used for "sick call." See your Primary Care Physician for any chronic or on-going conditions. A PCM is on call 24/7 at (866) DRS-APPT (377-2778) to answer medical questions.
If you have questions about your benefits under TRICARE or to determine if eligible to be seen in the JMIIC, call a Benefits Counseling and Assistance Coordinator at (609) 754-9083, 9082.
