Yes, the WHC is specialty clinic, and as such patients need referrals to be seen in the clinic. Referrals for Urogynecology, REI, GYN, and OB are required and can be placed by a patient's primary care provider.

However, patients who want to have their well-woman exam, which is also referred to as an annual checkup, can self-refer, which means they do not need a referral from a provider.

Not in every case. Even though we are trying to accommodate our ever-growing population of patients, we also offer OB-GYN services at the following satellite clinics:

• Dumfries Health Center
• Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling
• Joint Base Andrews

Patients who receive their care at these clinics will give birth at Fort Belvoir.

However, patients from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling will need to transfer care to Fort Belvoir Community Hospital at 36 weeks gestation. Patients from Dumfries Health Center and Joint Base Andrews don’t need to transfer care, but should bring their charts or records with them when they come to the hospital to have their baby.
