Patients identified as high-risk during the intake process may be referred for care to the maternal-fetal medicine specialists at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. When it's time for delivery, a military provider and/or nurse-midwife will deliver your baby at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and provide any other inpatient obstetric services that may be required.

Women’s Health FAQs

Do I need a referral to be seen at the Women's Health Clinic?
Yes, the WHC is a specialty clinic, and as such, patients need referrals to be seen in the clinic. Referrals for OB/GYN are required and can be placed by a patient's primary care provider.
My primary care manager just put in a referral for me. Can I call right away to book my appointment?
No. Our reviewers need about 48 hours to review referrals. Patients should wait about two business days before calling to schedule an appointment.
How do I get my pregnancy profile?
A pregnancy test will be ordered by your primary care provider. Once pregnancy is confirmed, you will report to public health, where your profile will be drafted. Medical Standards Management Element will generate the postpartum profile.
I just called and was told that my referral has expired. Why is that?
Referrals are only valid for 28 days from the day it was entered. It is the patient's responsibility to contact the clinic's call center as soon as possible (but 48 hours from referral placement) to book an appointment.
I just transferred from another facility, and I’m pregnant. Do I need to bring my medical record to my first appointment?
It is preferable that your records are received at the clinic in person or via fax prior to your first appointment. However, if this is not possible, yes, you will need to bring your medical record to your first appointment.
My provider just put in an order for me to have some labs drawn. What are the laboratory hours?
The laboratory is open on weekdays, 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., and is closed on weekends, training days (second Thursday of every month), and federal holidays.
Where do I deliver my baby?
Fort Belvoir Community Hospital. Please visit Fort Belvoir Women's Health.
What if I have a concern to be addressed after duty hours?
