Good morning IACH Patients,

To improve access to care, we are now posting daily updates on our page about same-day appointment availability, broken down into different categories. These appointments are for any patients assigned a Primary Care Manager at our main hospital only. Soldiers assigned to FHC and AHC offer separate appointments.
To understand the graphic, Family Practice encompasses any clinician that can see both pediatric and adult patients, Soldier Medicine is for those Soldiers assigned to Primary Care at IACH, and Internal Medicine only sees adult patients.

Same-Day Appointment Guidelines:

• Who Can Book: Patients assigned to a Primary Care Manager (PCM) at IACH. Soldiers assigned to Farrelly or Aviation Clinics use separate appointment processes.
• What Qualifies: Illnesses or injuries with a rapid onset (present for less than 5 days) such as fevers, sore throats, pain, migraines, sprains, burns, or cuts.
• What Does Not Qualify: Any illness or injury present for longer than 5 days. These conditions require a future, scheduled appointment rather than a same-day slot.

Check back daily for availability updates.

CPL Gabriela Garcia, a dental assistant NCO, reached a breaking point in the middle of a dirt tunnel during a low crawl. From that moment in the dirt, the story rewinds to reveal the previous 33 hours that brought her to the edge of failure during the Irwin Army Community Hospital internal Best Leader and Best Medic Competitions.

Held on April 29-30, 2026, this two-day competition was designed to identify and nominate the most resilient Soldiers to represent Medical Readiness Command, West. Those who earn the privilege of representing MRC, West at the 2026 Army Best Leader Competition and the 2027 Army Best Medic Competition will go against warriors across the entire U.S. Army, including the National Guard, Army Reserve, Medical Brigades, Active Army Corps, and Special Operations Forces.

To earn that nomination, CPL Garcia and her fellow competitors were thrust into a two-day series of events that tested their readiness, featuring the Expert Physical Fitness Assessment, Army Warrior Tasks, Day and Night Land Navigation, a Written Exam, a standard Air Assault obstacle course, and Tactical Combat Casualty Care.

Alongside medical corps NCOs, CPL Garcia navigated these events, surviving a foot march of unknown distance across some of the most unforgiving hills on Fort Riley. But that exhausting march was only the second-to-last event. Completely drained, she still had to face a tactical medical lane involving Army Warrior Tasks, scaling a wall, and navigating a dirt tunnel. It was here, halfway through the 25-meter low crawl, that she confronted the ultimate question: when your body shuts down, the finish line seems impossible, and the scoreboard no longer matters, why keep going?

The Competitors:

SFC Ryan Thomas
SGT Seth Adkins
CPL Gabriela Garcia
SPC Isaac Cristalinas
PFC Dominic Reed

As we prepare for the upcoming storm, we kindly ask that anyone not actively affiliated with Irwin Army Community Hospital or with government plates please remove their vehicles from the IACH parking garage.

The garage is needed to ensure hospital employees and patients have safe, accessible parking during severe weather conditions. Limited parking availability may impact patient care operations and staff reporting requirements.

Please note: vehicle license plates will be announced three times within the hospital building. Vehicles remaining after announcements may be subject to towing at the owners expense.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation in helping us keep access available for those providing and receiving care during the storm.
