CALLING SIERRA: The best time to call Sierra to make a routine appointment at Keller does NOT fall on a Monday or Tuesday morning. Those are Sierra’s peak volume times. You will reduce your "hold time" if you call 888-999-5195 from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday. We can almost guarantee you no "hold time" if you Call Sierra on Saturday. And don’t forget- Sierra can book same day appointments beginning at 6:00 am Monday through Friday.

SPORTS MEDICINE CLINIC: On Sept. 3, the KACH Physical Therapy Department will begin a Sports Medicine Clinic from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday.

This clinic is designed to see active-duty soldiers and their families with acute athletic type injuries. If you have recently sprained or strained a joint or muscle, or you just have a lingering soreness from a work or golf outing, this might be the first step toward a safe and rapid recovery.

The Sports Medicine Clinic is a walk in clinic that does not require a consultation or referral, and is located in the Physical Therapy Clinic on the 2nd floor at KACH. Please 938-3324 for more information.
