JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- The Family Health and Pediatric Clinics will relocate to the Temporary Medical Buildings on the south end of the Malcolm Grow Medical Clinic and Surgery Center campus Sept. 3, as Phase 1 of the military construction project begins at Joint Base Andrews, Md.

Most patient parking will also relocate to the current staff parking lot near the Temporary Medical Buildings. A large portion of the patient parking located near the main entrance of MGMCSC will be closed due to construction activities.
