During this partial government shutdown, the 66th Medical Squadron remains open and continues to honor scheduled medical and dental appointments. Our patient appointing service is open and we're still taking requests for appointments. We're doing our best to minimize impact on our beneficiaries and their health care. The clinic’s Primary Care, Dental Clinic, and Ancillary services (pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology) are fully operational. As always, safe and high-quality health care remain our priority. Please call 781-225-6789 to schedule or cancel appointments. For questions about TRICARE during the shutdown, please visit www.tricare.mil/shutdown.
