If you live on post at Fort Campbell or near Fort Campbell go to the Fort Campbell Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) Emergency Center located at 650 Joel Dr. C. Building 2nd Floor. Fort Campbell Kentucky. The waiting time for the emergency center is much shorter than the four hours national average, however situations may arise when a wait may be extended. Upon arrival to the Emergency Center, all patients are triaged to determine the level of their medical needs. True medical emergencies must be cared for immediately, such as a heart attack in progress or other medical emergencies that require immediate assistance. Some medical conditions may not be considered as emergent as another patient's at the time visiting the emergency center; therefore, the medical need that is most emergent is seen right away and may delay the time for a less emergent medical need to be seen. Patients with non-emergent medical needs are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their Soldier or Patient-Centered Medical Home, where the patient's long-term care plan can be managed more appropriately.
