For the last three years Fort Riley has not met those standards. The hospital commander said because of deployments, they don’t have enough doctors to meet the demand on the home front. “I’ve had eight of my doctors out the door on deployments in the last 12 months,” Irwin Army Community Hospital Commander Col. Dawn Smith said. “It’s frustrating to us to know that people cannot get the access they want.” Staff members said with so many doctors deployed, it makes it difficult to schedule patients. “The unpredictability of our staff, that makes it a challenge from day to day to make sure we get everything we need to do covered,” Irwin Medical Director Deputy Commander Kirk Egglestone said.
