Phase II of the MILCON Construction Project will begin with the start of the Dental Clinic construction on Jan. 30, 2017. The project will relocate the dental clinic to the old employee parking lot of building 1050. The 79th Medical Wing broke ground on May 22, 2013 to begin the construction of the new Malcolm Grow Medical Clinics and Surgery Center. Phase I was completed in February 2016 and integrates into the National Capital Region Healthcare network, providing world-class medical services to the wounded warriors and the area's service members, retirees and their families. The state of the art dental clinic will expand to 26,612 sq. ft. and will cost $22.8 million. It is scheduled to be completed in April 2018. Col. (Dr.) Sharon Bannister, 79th Medical Wing Commander; Col. (Dr.) Thaddeus Phillips, III, 779th Medical Group Dental Squadron Commander; and Col. (Dr.) Leslie Knight, 779th Medical Group Commander move some dirt to commemorate the start of the next phase of the project.
