Biomedical Sciences Corps (BSC) Week 2026 at David Grant Medical Center

This week, we celebrated our Biomedical Sciences Corps professionals and the vital role they play in patient care, medical readiness, and the Military Health System mission.

Throughout BSC Week, our team took part in professional development sessions, leadership discussions, and guest lectures focused on innovation, operational excellence, and the future of military medicine, including emerging applications of biomedical science and artificial intelligence.

Biomedical Sciences Corps officers support DHA and MHS priorities by strengthening access to care, improving quality and safety, and helping ensure a ready medical force. Their work directly supports our beneficiaries while maintaining readiness to meet operational demands.

Thank you to everyone who helped make BSC Week 2026 a success, and to our BSC professionals for the impact you make every day!

IMPORTANT Pharmacy Update

On Friday, Jan 16, 2026, the BX Pharmacy will be open for prescription pick-up only.

Pick-up only means you may pick up medications only if you have already received a text message stating your prescription is ready.

If prescriptions are not picked up by the end of the day on Jan 16 they will be relocated to the Main Pharmacy and available for pickup when the Main Pharmacy reopens on Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026.

This temporary change allows our pharmacy team to move equipment into our new permanent location inside DGMC (2nd Floor, near Lab) so we can begin full pharmacy services there on Jan 20.

⸻

What to know

• No new or renewal prescriptions will be processed on Jan. 16
• The Q-Anywhere text activation service will be offline on Jan. 16
• Q-Anywhere will be back online Saturday, Jan 17
• Patients will receive multiple text reminders about these changes.

⸻

What to do

Urgent prescriptions on Jan 16 (antibiotics, new pain medications, etc.)
• Please have your provider send them to an off-base pharmacy.

Non-urgent prescriptions
• Please wait until Saturday, Jan 17 or later to activate using Q-Anywhere.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this move and continue improving the pharmacy experience for our beneficiaries.
