Medical
Washington Navy Yard The Branch Health Clinic (BHC) Washington Navy Yard is a new state-of-the-art facility that delivers quality medical and dental care to ACTIVE DUTY BENEFICIARIES ONLY in the National Capital Region. The BHC is located in building 175 on Washington Navy Yard. The medical services include primary care, physical exams, health promotions, occupational health services (located on the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)⁄ NSF Anacostia), optometry, pharmacy, laboratory, immunizations, radiology, preventive medicine, preventive health assessments and substance abuse rehabilitation program (SARP). While services are for active duty personnel only, the occupational health services (located at NRL) are for civilian employees working in military facilities. Dental services include general dentistry, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics and oral surgery. If a referral is needed, contact (202) 433-2480 and they will be happy to assist. Dental care is also limited to active duty only. The BHC is open Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Friday from 7 a.m. to noon (pharmacy services until 3:30 p.m.). The Clinic is closed Saturdays and Sundays.
Established Medical Policy The BHC requests that all personnel scheduled for appointments arrive at least 15 minutes prior to appointment time so that staff may perform the necessary check-in procedures. This prevents delays in managing other patients and allows the clinic to run in a timely manner. Emergency situations always assume priority status, regardless of enrollment; in such cases, every effort will be made to inform patients of the situation and allow opportunities for evaluation in a delayed status or rescheduling of appointments. Additional exceptions to the above policies may be made for members of flag rank belonging to executive medicine. The BHC phone numbers:
Please note the BHC pharmacy does not perform refill services. Refills are done by contacting the National Naval Medical Center Bethesda at 1-800-377-1723 or go to www.nnmc.med.navy.mil⁄refill. You may request the refill to be sent to BHC Washington Navy Yard for pick-up. The entire process usually takes three to five business days. Dental Clinics available in Naval District Washington include:
The Regional Chaplain, Naval District Washington and the staff of Religious Programs coordinate, provide pastoral care and facilitate religious ministries. Training and ceremonial support contributes to the mission of Naval District Washington and area commands, promoting the personal, religious and professional needs of Sea Service personnel and their family members. The Regional Chaplain's office is located in Building 101 on the Washington Navy Yard and can be contacted at (202) 433-2275. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Duty Chaplain can be contacted after hours through the RDO at (202) 369-7683. Please call (202) 433-3752⁄2058 or go online at http:⁄⁄www.cnic.navy.mil⁄NDW⁄Programs⁄CommandandStaff⁄ReligiousMinistries⁄ChaplinRequest⁄index.htm for program information or to schedule appointments, training, chaplain participation in ceremonies or to use the chapel. Chaplains are further located at Enterprise Hall, NSF Anacostia, and can be contacted at (202) 433-3752 or (202) 433-2058; Office of Naval Intelligence, Suitland Md. Federal Complex, and NAF Andrews, Md., at (240) 857-2746; and the Chaplain for Arlington National Cemetery at (703) 607-8960. Chaplains provide and facilitate infant and adult baptisms, confirmations, weddings, funerals, memorials and other services. Chaplains provide preparatory instruction or counseling prior to performing these ministries, so it's best to schedule an appointment with the chaplain as early as possible. This is especially true in the case of weddings, where faith groups may set time or other requirements. The couple must have the name of the officiating chaplain or civilian clergy in order to schedule the chapel for their wedding. Religious⁄spiritual, pre-marriage, marriage and personal counseling is provided upon individual request and by command referral. Naval District Washington chaplains work with various agencies to ensure the best professional care is provided. Small group opportunities are available for personal growth, fellowship and Bible study. Chaplains' “ministry of presence“ can be a meaningful morale booster. In addition to regular workspace visitation, chaplains also provide assist visits, as in the case of a sudden or traumatic loss within a command. Naval District Washington chaplains provide General Military Training and other training for area commands upon request. Topics include: Values and Ethics, Life Skills Training, Stress Management and Family Readiness.
