Craik Clinic

Important - Due to operational commitments and CG Directives, Craik Clinic has been designated as an Active-Duty Service Member Facility. Only active-duty members may be enrolled to the clinic as TRICARE prime. Craik Clinic is not an authorized TRICARE enrollment site for other beneficiaries.

The clinic is named for Dr. James A. Craik who directed a field hospital during the siege of Yorktown during the American Revolution. He was later appointed the Chief Physician and Surgeon for the Continental Army under General George Washington.
 

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide health care of high quality to active-duty personnel at TCYorktown and surrounding Coast Guard units, while providing the finest health care we can to all beneficiaries who seek our services.

We are closed every 2nd and 3rd Wednesday afternoon for training.

After normal working hours, and on holidays and weekends, the clinic is staffed for on base EMERGENT or URGENT care only.

Sick Call (active duty only)

Students: M-F 0700-0730 is reserved for TCYorktown students for both medical and dental to minimize disruption of training.  Urgent and Emergent care will be rendered on a walk-in basis.

Permanent Party: To minimize waiting time, we offer care for all permanent party members on a "same day" availability appointment basis. Permanent party members are asked to call the clinic @ 0700 to schedule their appointment. Urgent and Emergent care will be rendered on a walk-in basis. Due to an increasing workload, the clinic may defer care to another treatment facility/agency to ensure that your needs are adequately met.
