KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. --  The 377th Medical Group has added multiple staff members, enabling the group to increase access and availability to its patients.

The new staff members include two board certified pediatricians, one pediatric nurse practitioner, one family health physician assistant, a flight surgeon and numerous support staff. With the new additions, the 377th Medical Group is able to extend its premier healthcare to additional enrollees.

"We invite eligible beneficiaries to obtain their medical care at the 377th Medical Group," said Col. Rachel Lefebvre, 377th MDG commander.

Maj. (Dr.) Lauren Wolf, chief of the medical staff, said the staff levels will remain constant, allowing the group to provide personalized, high-quality healthcare services to all its TRICARE Prime enrollees.

"We are able to offer same day access, excellent continuity of care, and the highest levels of patient satisfaction, at zero cost to the customer," Lefebvre said.

Services provided include primary care (family health, pediatrics, and flight medicine), pharmacy, immunizations, physical therapy, optometry, women's health, and public health.

Eligible TRICARE beneficiaries under the age of 65, living within a 30-minute drive, are encouraged to enroll with a Primary Care Manager at the 377th MDG. Those living outside a 30-minute drive time are also welcome but will be required to submit a waiver.

To enroll, call the TRICARE West Region's customer service at 1-877- 988-9378, or visit the medical group in person at the TRICARE Service Center.
