The Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) clinic is a specialty service focused on providing high quality healthcare to pregnant women and women with gynecological related issues. The OB/GYN clinic is a referral clinic which means that for non-OB related issues, patients must first see their primary care provider, who will then refer them, if needed, to the OB/GYN clinic. After you have received a routine referral from your PCM, please allow 3 business days before calling the OB/GYN appointment line. If you have received an ASAP referral, you may call the OB/GYN appointment line the following business day.

Location: Weed Army Community Hospital, Main Hospital, Building 166

Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday from 0800-1630. We are closed daily for lunch from 1145-1245 and all Federal and Training Holidays.

OB Registration: Once a pregnancy test is confirmed by our lab or you are a pregnant patient transferring from another facility, you must register with the OB/GYN clinic. Upon receipt of your pregnancy test result, you will be able to schedule a registration appointment with the nurse. Please bring any OB records regarding your current pregnancy with you. You will complete paperwork regarding past medical, surgical, and family histories and review this with a Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered Nurse. You will then be directed to obtain any necessary lab work or referrals as needed and be scheduled for your initial OB visit with your OB provider.

OB Orientation: The information provided below is an introduction to pregnancy and what to expect during your time with us at the OB/GYN clinic. Please review the following slides and print out certificate of completion.

What if I receive a network referral from the OB/GYN clinic?
If care from a civilian provider is necessary, a referral request will be sent to Tri-Care’s United Health Care. The request will be processed in 3-5 business days. An authorization letter will be sent to you along with instructions on how to schedule that appointment. Please ensure your contact information is up to date in our system.
If you know a referral to an outside care provider has been submitted and you have not received anything in the mail after 10 business days, please contact the clinic so we can help you investigate where your referral is.
