UPDATE: Crane ops has concluded early and south entrance has reopened! Thank you for everyone’s continued support!

💡 Did You Know?

The 60th Medical Group at David Grant Medical Center is transforming deployment readiness through its Continuous Medical Readiness model allowing Airmen to complete key readiness requirements in a single coordinated visit.

By streamlining medical readiness tasks, the CMR model reduces time away from the mission, accelerates deployability updates, and helps Airmen stay ready to answer the call when needed. Early results show the program saves nearly 20 man-hours per Airman while improving the readiness experience. ✈️💪

Behind some smiles are battles no one else can see. 💚

PTSD can affect sleep, relationships, focus, joy, and everyday life. It can come after combat, trauma, accidents, assault, or moments the mind and body never truly forget.

But healing is possible.
And you do not have to fight alone.

The Defense Health Agency is here to help service members, families, retirees, and veterans access support, treatment, and care that can help restore hope and reconnect people with life beyond trauma. ❤️‍🩹

If you’re struggling quietly today, remember this:

✨ You are worth fighting for.
✨ Your story matters.
✨ Your healing matters.
✨ And asking for help is strength.

Recognizing Excellence in Patient Safety and Ready Reliable Care

Please join us in recognizing recent Defense Health Agency award recipients whose actions reflect the culture of safety, accountability, and high reliability that define the 60th Medical Group.

The awards were presented by Col. Patrick Parsons, commander, 60th Medical Group, in recognition of both team and individual achievements that exemplify Ready Reliable Care in action.

The nurses and technicians of the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Medical-Surgical Unit, and Laboratory were recognized through the Defense Health Agency Ready Reliable Care Reliability in Action program for exemplifying the principle of Sensitivity to Operations through collaborative efforts to reduce blood culture contamination and improve patient safety outcomes across David Grant Medical Center. Through standardized device use, cross-section training, and data-driven process improvement, the team reduced contamination rates to a low of 0.81%, helping reduce unnecessary treatments, costs, and extended hospital stays while strengthening patient care.

A1C Juana Conde was also recognized as a Defense Health Agency Patient Safety Champion for her dedication to patient advocacy and commitment to doing the right thing when it mattered most. Her willingness to think critically, speak up, and coordinate emergency transport for a high-risk patient helped prevent further adverse outcomes and reflected the sound judgment and accountability that strengthen a culture of safety.

Whether through team-based process improvement or individual acts of patient advocacy, these recognitions highlight the shared commitment of our Golden Bear Medics to delivering safe, reliable care every day for our patients and beneficiaries.
