DOD Military Health System officials will hold their second live online town hall discussion April 25 from 2:45 to 4:15 p.m. EDT.

Following up on the success of February's Wounded Warrior Webhall event, the Pentagon's "top doc," Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Dr. S. Ward Casscells is again inviting wounded service members and their families to share concerns and recommendations and ask questions in a live, online discussion with MHS leaders.

The top priority of MHS officials is providing wounded warriors with quality health care. Over the past year, they have been working diligently on the recommendations of independent review groups, task forces and senior leaders to provide the best health care for wounded warriors and their families.

Participation in the discussion will help senior leaders ensure that the MHS is on the right track toward taking care of its own. Starting April 23 and throughout the live program, service members and their families may submit questions for the event by e-mail to mhswebmaster@tma.osd.mil.

Those interested in participating in the live chat should visit the MHS Webhall page at www.health.mil/WWTBWebhall.aspx for instructions on how to participate in the live program.

All questions, concerns and recommendations should be focused on broad issues and lessons learned. Due to privacy concerns, the forum should not be used for sharing personal information. Whenever possible, service members should always use their chain of command.
