Fort Hall Service Unit: Out-of-area visitors for Festival

Every August we anticipate visitors in our clinic who are here for the Shoshone-Bannock Festival. Some may be seeking medical care and others needing medication refills. Many of these travelers bring their medications from home. However, there are those who forget, or will run out prior to returning to their home sites. Our goal is to support patient care without putting undue burden on the medical staff.

Patients that have an active prescription with another IHS pharmacy and are only needing an extension of the medications, can go directly to Pharmacy. Pharmacy staff will verify the medications with the other IHS pharmacy, which can take up to 4 hours, then will provide a 7 day extension of the patient’s medications.

Patient presenting to Medical without an appointment for an acute medical issue will be handled like other walk-in patients and worked in as the schedule allows.

Controlled substances will not be dispensed without a provider visit or transfer in between pharmacies. Patients must have a chart established at the Fort Hall IHS in order to receive care, including medications.
