COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- On Oct. 29, all departments of the 14th Medical Group will begin moving into the newly renovated Koritz Clinic here.
Only the affected departments will be closed during the move. Departments already located in the new facility will remain open, to include the Pharmacy and Primary Care.
The Dental, Mental Health and Physical Therapy Clinics will block their schedules for the move starting Oct. 29 and will reopen along with all the other affected areas Nov. 2 at their regular business hours. Signs will be posted at the old facilities regarding the move dates and a map with the new layout identifying key department areas.
Once all departments have moved into the new facility, the old Dental Clinic and temporary facilities will be demolished and the sites restored to their original state. Although the majority of the move will occur over the weekend, please note there will be some minor repairs within the main Koritz Clinic Building as the contractor completes all requirements to ensure our patients’ and staff safety.
Other than Dental, Mental Health and Physical Therapy clinics, the TRICARE Service Center, Referrals Management, BioEnvironmental Engineering, Command Section and all support services will be located in the two-story portion of the building. Please note all dental services will be located on the second floor, accessible by elevator or stairs. With this final move, patrons will now be able to enjoy both medical and dental services offered on base within one single building.
Design for the newly remodeled clinic started in the Fall of 2012 and just three years later in the Fall of 2015 it will be complete. The members of the 14th MDG would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding throughout the project.
