Did you know that the Center For Brain Health treats First Responders with mild to moderate TBI? 🧠🚨 In fact, many of our Veterans are part of the First Responder community. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Labor, while just 6% of the U.S. population has served in the military, Veterans make up 10% of emergency medical technicians EMTs, 19% of firefighters, and 25% of police officers. Today and every day, we honor the dedication and sacrifices made by our First Responders. #FirstRespondersDay If you’re a First Responder suffering from TBI, fill out our inquiry form ➡️ bit.ly/tucbh-inquiry-kz

THREE GOOD REASONS TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE Don't miss our conversation with Randall Schaefer, DNP, RN, ACNS-BC, CEN 1. **Insights into Military Medical Innovations**: Listeners will gain an in-depth understanding of the cutting-edge medical practices developed in military settings, particularly those related to trauma care. Dr. Randi Schaefer discusses the advancements in pre-hospital blood administration, which has significant implications for military and civilian emergency medicine. The knowledge shared could be eye-opening for those interested in how high-pressure environments drive medical innovation. 2. **Evolution of Blood Transfusion Practices**: The episode offers a historical and practical perspective on how blood transfusion practices have evolved from reliance on hospital staff donors to implementing whole blood protocols. Those interested in emergency medicine, trauma care, or medical history will learn about the challenges and triumphs in changing hospital policies, the role of the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC), and how these practices are reducing mortality rates and improving patient outcomes. 3. **Bridging Military and Civilian Medical Care**: The conversation with Dr. Schaefer explains how military medical procedures can be adapted to improve civilian trauma care. Listeners will discover the importance of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training, the influence of military experiences on civilian practices, and innovations like the Vampire Program that enhance pre-hospital care. It's an opportunity to appreciate the symbiosis between combat and civilian medical fields and the shared goal of saving lives.

RHRP III is not a success story. It's a lesson in measures of effectiveness (Are we doing the right thing) versus measures of performance (Are we doing things right). Compo 3 has seen a 20% drop in medical readiness under RHRP III and Compo 2 medical readiness is held together by the endless work of 54 Deputy State Surgeons. This isn't due to a lack of effort by the DHA staff or program manager but rather failures with contracting. States have rebuilt the services locally and the 54 S/T are working tireless to maintain a medical fit force. I hope we apply these lessons to RHRP IV.

Senate Bill 135, which would authorize the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs to establish and operate a health care system for veterans and their families passed out of the Senate Military Affairs Committee today. Please urge your state legislators to pass this vital piece of legislation that will complement the federal VA health care system, close the gaps and considerably reduce wait times for appointments. #VeteransHealthCare #Alabama #Veterans #VeteransHelpingVeterans #GovernmentalAffairs

This. This is why a patient having a single, integrated health record matters. This is why we recruit talented people like Leesa Henderson, PT, DPT, Blanca Badgett, MSN, RN, Thomas M., James Ellzy and Patrick Debusha Sargent who have lived in the healthcare systems we serve, including the MHS, and can help ensure our intentions and outcomes align. This is why we partner with organizations like Military Family Advisory Network to gather insights and data so the one patient's healthcare journey that is improved can be repeated 9.5 million times.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their courage and patriotism have not only protected our nation but have also significantly contributed to advancing clinical research and medical breakthroughs. Throughout history, the military has been instrumental in developing life-saving treatments, preventive measures, and medical technologies that have had a profound impact on countless lives. From antimalarial drugs to trauma care innovations, their sacrifices have paved the way for groundbreaking progress in healthcare. An exemplary instance is the establishment of the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1893, known for its pioneering work in preventative medicine, including the development of the first successful yellow fever vaccine. Military clinicians and researchers have tirelessly strived to enhance health outcomes for both military personnel and civilians, even in challenging conditions. On this Memorial Day, we express our deep gratitude to the fallen heroes and the dedicated individuals who have advanced scientific knowledge through their service. Their commitment to protecting and improving human life through medical innovation is truly inspiring and a testament to the noblest of causes. Let us honor their legacy by reaffirming our support for clinical research that continues their impactful work. Their sacrifices remind us of the importance of striving for medical progress to enhance and save lives. We will always remember and appreciate their service. #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #studystartup #clinicaltrials #healthcare #clinicalresearch #patientrecruitment #sitemanagement #clinicaldevelopment #clinicaltrial #clinicaloperations #clinicalstudy #clinicalsupply
