Buckley Medical Clinic continues to honor scheduled appointments during the partial government shutdown. Our patient appointing service is open and still taking requests for appointments. We are doing our best to minimize impact on our beneficiaries and their health care. All ancillary services (pharmacy and laboratory) also remain operational. As always, safe and high-quality healthcare remain our priority. Please call (719) 526-CARE (2273) to schedule or cancel appointments.
