The page will include general health announcements including patient-centered health care advice and resources, news updates about the AFMS and Military Health Service, health-related videos and relevant links to other federal and military web sites. The content has been designed to provide the community with the information they need, when they need it, contributing to improved experience of care including individual readiness, service satisfaction and better health.
"This is a popular communication tool to inform, educate and inspire our service members and their families about their health needs, their benefits and the AFMS in general," said Lt. Gen. C.
