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 10th Medical Group will continue to honor scheduled medical and dental appointments. Our patient appointing service is open and we are still taking requests for appointments. We are doing our best to minimize impact on our beneficiaries and their health care. The clinic’s Operating Room, 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 (719) 526-CARE (2273) to schedule or cancel appointments.

Getting Care

Visitor Guidelines

The United States Air Force Academy implements the trusted traveler program. Medical attendants or additional travelers riding in the same vehicle as a DOD ID card holder only require government identification to be permitted base access.                                                           

Mask Policy

Mask wear is optional for staff, patients, and visitors at the 10th Medical Group and its outlying facilities. However, staff, patients, and visitors must wear a mask if they have tested positive for COVID-19, have recently been in contact with someone with COVID-19, or showing signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.

Commercial Visitors and Vendors Must Check in with Facility Management

All commercial entities and vendors to the 10th Medical Group must check in with Facility Management before entering the main building or outlying buildings. Facility Management is located immediately outside the elevators and stairs in the basement of the main clinic, Building 4102.
