The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.

Evans Army Community Hospital will continue to honor all scheduled appointments during the partial government shutdown. Our patient appointing service is open and will still take requests for appointments. The hospital’s emergency room and inpatient services, to include the Mountain Post Birthing Center, will remain fully operational. All ancillary services (pharmacy, laboratory, radiology) will also remain operational. As always, safe and high-quality healthcare remain our priority and we are doing our best to minimize impact on our beneficiaries and their health care. Please call (719) 526-CARE (2273) to schedule or cancel appointments. For questions about TRICARE during the shutdown, please visit https://www.tricare.mil/shutdown.

Getting Care

Visitor Guidelines

Visitors are welcome at the following locations

General Hospital

General visiting hours are everyday from 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.. However, please check with your nurse as hours can vary depending on your medical unit. To respect other patients, visitors may be limited to two people in the patient’s room.

Hospital allows for the presence of a support individual of the patient’s choice unless the individual’s presence infringes on others’ rights, safety or is medically or therapeutically counter indicated. The individual may or may not be the patient’s surrogate decision-maker or legally authorized representative. If you do not feel up to having company, ask the nurses to restrict your visitors.

Birthing Center

The Mother Baby Unit is family friendly so there are no published visiting hours, however children are not allowed to spend the night. The children of patients may visit when accompanied by an adult. For health and safety reasons children that are non-siblings to the newborn under the age of 14 should wait until the family arrives home to visit and will not be given access to the Birthing Center.

Visitors are allowed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
