Take precautions now to reduce the risk of respiratory viruses.
 
JANUARY 22, 2026 – 1745 UPDATE: Keller Army Community Hospital will make an operational assessment on Friday morning, January 23, 2026.

The decision to return to full operations will depend on the restoration of hospital utilities. The restoration of hospital utilities will depend on the repair of the water main break.
 
  • * Friday surgeries have been cancelled. Beneficiaries scheduled for surgery will be contacted and the procedure will be re=scheduled.
  • * Friday morning Primary Care appointments will be re-scheduled for virtual appointments or to a later date. Friday afternoon appointments are still scheduled (in-person) but are subject to change pending restoration of hospital utilities.
  • * A decision on Pharmacy, Radiology, and Laboratory departments will be made Friday morning pending restoration of hospital utilities. If these services are closed, contingency plans will be put in place.
We sincerely apologize to all our beneficiaries for the sudden suspension of hospital services. It is unfortunate that the water main break has impacted our facilities and the service we provide. We understand the significant inconvenience and concern this causes, and we want to assure you that we are working diligently to restore full services as safely and quickly as possible. Your health and well-being remain our highest priority, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging time.

We will provide an update on the hospital status on Friday morning.

Lyme Disease in the Hudson Valley area

New York State currently has the highest number of confirmed cases of Lyme disease in the United States and the Hudson Valley is specifically considered a high-risk area.
 
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread through the bite of infected ticks. Tick exposure can occur year-round, but ticks are most active in the warmer months (April-September) and are much more prevalent following milder winter seasons. 
 
The CDC's Lyme Disease information page includes how it’s spread, where it’s found, how it’s prevented, how it’s diagnosed, and how it’s treated.  

West Point's MilTICK Program is a free tick testing and identification service available for ticks removed from the Department of Defense personnel and their dependents. 
 
When hiking, gardening, or any outdoor activity in high grass, you should take measures to protect yourself and always checks for ticks after being outdoors.

Know how to prevent tick-borne illness from tick vectors.
