FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2026 – 9 a.m. UPDATE: Keller Army Community Hospital will open for full operations at 10 a.m.

Keller’s facilities team conducted an operational assessment, Thursday night and this morning, and determined we could safely restore hospital utilities.

Keller Café will operate under a limited capacity – serving limited packaged food at 11 a.m. We do have a ‘for-purchase’ food/snack/drink machine on the first floor (near Pharmacy waiting room).

Water fountains will be inoperable (signage will be posted). We recommend you bring bottled water when visiting Keller.

Due to the water boil order on West Point, beneficiaries should let the water run for 30 seconds prior to washing your hands and use hand sanitizer after handwashing.

We cannot THANK YOU enough for your patience as we navigated this unfortunate circumstance. Your health, well-being, and safety remains our highest priority and were a factor in every decision. We look forward to returning to full operations and providing high-quality, safe health care.
