Plan the right kind of visit
Patients & assigned staff.
Confirm the appointment destination with the care team. Assigned personnel should obtain separate reporting instructions from their gaining command.
Arrange staff reporting separately
The staff welcome page distinguishes MILPERS in Building 3 from the after-hours quarterdeck in Building 2. It is dated April 2023, so reconfirm the current office and arrival process with your sponsor; these are staff directions, not appointment instructions.
Staff reportingConfirm enrollment and referrals
Ask the care team which services and authorizations apply.
Patient resourcesPrepare a staff household move
Ask the sponsor about regional housing and support eligibility.
Staff welcome guidancePlan school records
Before choosing housing, ask the receiving district to confirm the school serving that address, enrollment records and the appropriate military-family contact.
Virginia education resourcesCheck the journey
Check traffic for the route to the actual clinic, then confirm parking and arrival instructions with the care team. A staff reporting office is not the patient check-in point, even when both are on the Portsmouth campus.
