Happy 67th Anniversary to the Army Medical Specialist Corps! TSG Sends: Army Medicine Team, As the Army Medical Specialist Corps celebrates its 67th anniversary on Wednesday, April 16th, CSM Brock and I want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the more than 2,900 Active and Reserve Component members of the Corps. Your selfless and dedicated service to our Soldiers and Family members is a testament to your commitment and pride in service. After more than 12 years of conflict, you can reflect back with tremendous pride on the care you provided and continue to provide to our wounded, ill, and injured. Army Medical Specialist Corps providers play key roles in support of the four Army Medicine Priorities: Combat Casualty Care, Readiness of the Force, Ready & Deployable Medical Force, and Health of Soldiers and Beneficiaries (Families and Retirees). They continue to lead important elements of the Performance Triad (Sleep, Activity & Nutrition) and support critical clinical research initiatives in this arena. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, dietitians, and physician assistants are instrumental in guiding patients toward a healthier lifestyle, thereby preventing physical injuries, reducing the possibility of patients becoming obese, and restoring and enhancing quality of life. Members of the SP Corps also play key roles in initiatives such as Traumatic Brain Injury & Behavioral Health, Patient/Soldier Centered Medical Homes, Wounded Warrior Care, Comprehensive Pain Management, and the Army Wellness Centers. CSM Brock and I wish you all continued success. Army Medicine is, Serving to Heal...Honored to Serve! V/R, Patricia D.
