Feasibility Study for an Off-Post, Primary Care Clinic at Fort Campbell, Kentucky

摘要

Blanchfield Army Community Hospital is located on Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It is one of seven hospitals in the Southeast Regional Medical Command supporting soldiers living in the TRICARE North Region, which includes beneficiaries from 24 states. Over 90,679 beneficiaries currently live in -the- Fort Campbell-catchment area and receive primary care at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital through the Red, White, Blue, Gold, and Young Eagle Clinics. The number of beneficiaries is rapidly increasing due to modularity changes and the deployment related baby boom. In response to the increase in population, three options are being considered, by the command, to address the medical needs of the population. This paper is a feasibility study of one of the options, the development of an off-post, primary care clinic in Clarkville, Tennessee.
