TRICARE Pediatrician for Military Families in San Antonio

San Antonio is Military City USA, and Happy Days Pediatrics is honored to care for the children of our service
members and veterans. We work with TRICARE families and understand the unique needs of military life —
frequent moves, deployments, and the need for a pediatrician who can pick up your child’s care seamlessly. Learn more about your military health benefits, eligibility, and coverage by visiting the official TRICARE website

TRICARE’s West Region — which includes Texas — is administered by TriWest Healthcare Alliance for 2025 and
2026. Whether you’re stationed at Joint Base San Antonio (Fort Sam Houston, Lackland, or Randolph) or a
military family new to the area, Dr. Barakah Day provides the continuity and personal attention that busy military
families deserve.
