Beginning March 3, 2026, the Main Gate to Naval Hospital Pensacola will remain closed until further notice. Access to the hospital must be obtained via Corry Station and then through the back gate (gate 10). Please be advised that access to Military installations and facilities will require 100% DBIDs verification. This means ALL personnel attempting to gain access must have a valid VA, Retiree, dependent, DBIDs or CAC card. If attempting to gain access without the proper authorization, personnel can obtain a day pass by visiting the Visitor’s Center on NAS and requesting access with a REAL-ID. Please review the attached map for directions to the Hospital via gate 10 and allow yourself an additional 30 minutes of travel time to avoid delays in care.
